The introduction of limited entry: The New Zealand rock lobster fishery

John H. Annala

Marine Policy, 1983, vol. 7, issue 2, 101-108

Abstract: The author describes the implementation of a controlled or limited entry fishery for New Zealand rock lobsters. The background to the implementation of limited entry is described and the decrease in annual landings per vessel in the period 1955-1977 is pointed out. The New Zealand licensing system is outlined, attention being paid to continuous and seasonal licences, allocation of licences, controlled fishing areas, and fishing methods and gear restrictions. The number of rock lobster vessels decreased from 1574 in 1979 to 970 after the initial round of licensing.
