New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations set an overall quota of 1 526 greenweight tonnes or 14 950 000 oysters (whichever is taken sooner) for the Foveaux Strait dredge oyster fishery. The quota applies for the period 1 June 1997 to 31 August 1997. Individual allocations of quota will be made by the Minister by notice in the Gazette.
The regulations should be read in conjunction with the Fisheries (Foveaux Strait Dredge Oyster Fishery) Decontrolling Order 1997, which declares the end of the current controlled fishery with effect from 1 June 1997, and the Fisheries (Southland and Sub-Antarctic Areas Commercial Fishing) Amendment Regulations 1997, which remove the current restrictions relating to dredge oysters appearing in regulation 7 of the principal regulations.
