This report presents the spatial analysis of bottom-contacting effort by commercial trawl vessels and shellfish dredge vessels within the New Zealand Territorial Sea and 200 n. mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ+TS), in waters open to trawling down to 1600 m depths. Fishing years 1989–90 to 2020–21 are covered for deepwater trawl and shellfish dredge fisheries and 2007–08 to 2020–21 for inshore, and 1989–90 to 2020–21 for inshore and deepwater trawling combined.

Estimates of relative species proportions and catch-at-age for the three jack mackerel (Trachurus) species in the commercial JMA 7 catch for 2020–21 are presented. The available time series of catch-at-age estimates, sex ratios, and species proportions for the JMA 7 catch (2006–07 to 2020–21) are summarised.
