Overview

MPI is responsible for administering the Fisheries Act 1996 (the Act) and its supporting regulations. The Act aims to allow commercial, recreational and customary fishers access to resources while ensuring fish stocks are managed sustainably. Sustainable catch levels determine how many fish can be harvested.

The overall objective of this project is to provide an estimate of stock status in relation to management reference points for silver warehou (Seriolella punctate) in SWA 3 and SWA 4, the two largest fisheries for silver warehou in New Zealand.

Specific objectives are to complete descriptive analyses for SWA 3 and SWA 4 in preparation for the assessment and to provide all available age and length frequency information for both stocks; and to complete a stock assessment for these fisheries to determine stock status in relation to reference points. All the available information should be reviewed to support stock definition used in the assessment.

MPI is seeking proposals from capable suppliers with the experience, resources and expertise to meet the requirements of this RFP. This includes carrying out the project according to high professional, ethical and scientific standards. Suitability of the proposed methodology, approach and techniques, including feasibility of the intended approach, is a key criterion. Robust health and safety management must also be demonstrated.

The project is expected to deliver by 30 June 2017. The outputs will support the ongoing sustainable management of silver warehou fisheries.
