11 The percentage of reported landed catch for each fishing year landed as dressed, green, or meal is shown in the following table (assuming discarded catch is reported as green). 2002/03 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 Dressed 0% 0% 1% 2% 2% Green 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% Meal 100% 100% 99% 98% 98% 12 Although over 30 target fisheries report javelinfish as bycatch, the hoki fishery reports by far the most javelinfish bycatch with 85% of the estimated javelinfish catch over the last 5 years reported as a bycatch of the hoki fishery. The only other fishery reporting significant quantities of javelinfish bycatch is scampi, which accounts for 10% of the javelinfish catch over the same time period. The smaller mesh size used in the scampi fishery may explain the relatively high javelinfish catch in this fishery. 13 Analysis of fish discards from observer data in the hoki and scampi trawl fisheries showed that the percentage of javelinfish catch discarded was 34% 4 and 100% 5 respectively. These figures suggest that discards of this species may be underreported. 14 Anecdotal information suggests that javelin fish has limited potential commercially, other than as a source of meal, as its tough skin makes it difficult to process. Recreational fishery characteristics 15 MFish has no information on recreational catch of javelinfish. Due to the offshore location and depth distribution of this species, recreational catch is unlikely. Customary fishery characteristics 16 MFish has no information on customary catch of javelinfish. Due to the offshore location and depth distribution of this species, customary catch is unlikely. Management Existing management information 17 Javelinfish is currently managed as an open access, non-QMS fishery. Provisional catch history implications 18 Javelinfish is a Schedule 4D species. If introduced into the QMS before 1 October 2009 quota allocation will be by way of provisional catch history. International obligations 19 There are no international obligations specific to javelinfish. 4 Anderson, O.F.; Smith, M.H. (2004).

Treaty settlement obligations 20 MFish is undertaking research to provide information on the traditional and customary factors that may need to be considered in the management decision-making process. Currently there is no information specific to javelinfish. 43
