Guidance resources

This single-volume guide describes over 400 of the more common marine fishes caught by bottom, midwater, and surface fishing methods in New Zealand seas. The guide is intended for field use particularly by fisheries observers and researchers who may or may not have specialist knowledge about the taxonomy of fishes. Accurate and rapid identification of catches at sea is important for obtaining good quality data about fish catches, for monitoring changes in fish abundance and enabling fisheries managers to make informed decisions about fishstock sustainability.

This guide was produced in 2024 and is a modified republication of the single-volume guide published in 2019 which replaced the three-volume set of guides published in 2011. A second version for fishers is identical except it does not include the research codes.
