The spatial analysis of bottom-contacting trawl effort by commercial trawlers within the New Zealand Territorial Sea and 200 n. mile Exclusive Economic Zone (TS+EEZ), in waters open to trawling down to 1600 m depths, is presented in this report, for different time periods during the 1990–2019 fishing years, based on available data. Separate summaries are presented for inshore and deepwater fisheries. A summary of shellfish dredging is also included.

The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code requires labelling of all foods containing
ingredients, ingredients of compound ingredients, food additives or components of food
additives, or processing aids or components of processing aids from specified allergenic
source materials. The regulatory process allows parties to seek an exemption from the
mandatory labelling requirements of the standard if it can be demonstrated that the inclusion of material from an allergenic source is not likely to present a risk of allergic reactions in allergic consumers.

Recent trends in the SNA 8 fishery are summarised. Standardised CPUE indices are updated. Data were incorporated in a stock assessment model for SNA 8 which integrates commercial catches, recreational catch estimates, tagging biomass estimates, trawl survey indices, and age and length composition data. Spawning biomass estimates increased considerably over the last decade due to an increase in recruitment from the mid 2000s. The 2021 biomass was estimated to exceed the target level (40% SB0).

An overview of electronic monitoring programmes for New Zealand fisheries carried out during the 2016 to 2018 fishing years is provided, summarising the coverage achieved and identifying lessons learnt. The programmes achieved a high level of coverage of the FMA 1 trawl and longline fisheries, introducing innovative monitoring technologies that facilitated significant new data collection. Vessel and video observation estimates of sub-MLS snapper returns to the sea were broadly consistent.

The aim of the current project was to assess the levels of iron and folate in fortified foods and to compare levels to those claimed on product labels.
