<p>To ensure sustainability of fisheries resources, commercial fisheries in New Zealand are monitored by direct control of harvest levels using the Quota Management System. However, there is currently no overall harvest amount for any fishery in New Zealand, which includes harvest amounts across all sectors of fishing: commercial, recreational, customary and other sources of fishing mortality. Having reliable information and data is important when setting and varying harvest levels for each species in each geographical area to ensure the sustainable use of that fishery. This research focuses on the fisheries harvest within Ngāti Kahungnu rohe, between the 2007-2010 fishing years, of 10 key species in New Zealand waters. A variety of different data sources from all sectors, including; commercial, recreational, customary and illegal fishing were used in this research to estimate overall harvest amounts. These estimates are also displayed geographically using heat maps. In order for more reliable estimates of overall harvest to be made there is a need for more consistent data collection between the different fishing sectors, as well as a higher quality of data collection relating to the harvest of fisheries in New Zealand for all sectors of fishing. This research highlights the difficulty of making such estimates and provides an initial template for similar research in other areas around New Zealand. This research also highlights the difficulties faced by Iwi/Māori when attempting to participate in fisheries management. This is not only due to the complexity of fisheries management in New Zealand, with current management and traditional Māori concepts not always aligning, but also the lack of high quality data across all fishing sectors available.</p>

This study evaluates the total length of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum ) captured in the middle Solimões river and traded during seven years (1993, 1997 and 2000 to 2005) in the Tefé market, Amazon, Brazil. The Mamirauá Institute of Sustainable Development obtained measurements of the total lengths from 42207 individuals. The length average was 45.23 ± 6.29 cm (minim um of 13 cm and maximum of 105.5 cm ) and the mode was 45 cm . From the total tambaquis, 92.86% were smaller than 55 cm and 7.14% measured 58.24 ± 5.41 cm on average. Medium and standard deviation of the lengths recorded in all years showed sizes below the established by the environmental federal agency. The Kruskal Wallis test showed that there is no significant difference between the abundances and medium sizes of the captures during all months of the year. The historical data of the tambaqui fisheries for the middle Solimões region indicate that individuals of this species have been constantly captured at sizes below the minim um length of reproduction. Nine recommendations for tambaquis fisheries management in the region related to more efficient mechanisms of inspection, auto-ecology studies of the species, environmental protection, reduction of fishery pressure, diffusion and educational cam paigns that aim to correct exploitation of this resource are presented in this manuscript.
