This report provides information on zooplankton distributions in the Southern Ocean based on sampling by the Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey, including from New Zealand research and fishing vessels. Statistical models were used to examine the spatial and seasonal distribution of key groups of zooplankton including copepods, euphausiids and pteropods, and to investigate long-term changes in their abundances. Characteristic zooplankton communities in the Southern Ocean were also identified.

This feasibility assessment considers passive acoustic monitoring systems, using the echolocation and communication clicks of the Hector’s dolphins to estimate their location within the water column, and therefore the proximity to demersal trawl fishing equipment. The study examines different array and localisation tracking concepts, possible detection ranges, and installation locations for hydrophones using theoretical simulations

This document summarises the observational and research data for southern blue whiting to 2019. Included here are time series of relative abundance from the wide area R.V. Tangaroa acoustic surveys, as well as from local area aggregation industry vessel acoustic surveys, CPUE indices for Bounty Platform and Campbell Island Rise, and trawl survey indices for the Auckland Islands Shelf, Campbell Island Rise, and Pukaki Rise, as well as updated time series of length-at-age and catch-at-age.

Tangaroa acoustic surveys, as well as from local area aggregation industry vessel acoustic surveys, CPUE indices for Bounty Platform and Campbell Island Rise, and trawl survey indices for the Auckland Islands Shelf, Campbell Island Rise, and Pukaki Rise, as well as updated time series of length-at-age and catch-at-age

This report presents a description of the distribution of the ling (Genypterus blacodes) trawl and longline fisheries on the west coast of the South Island (LIN 7WC), from 1989–90 up to the 2018–19 fishing year. Catch-per-unit-effort analyses of standardised for commercial line fisheries targeting ling and as bycatch in observed trawl fisheries on the west coast of the South Island (LIN 7WC) are also presented
