23 Although many target fisheries report rattails as bycatch, the hoki target fishery<br />

dominates the estimated catch of rattails with over 70% of all reported estimated<br />

catch. Other fisheries catching reasonable quantities of rattails include scampi, orange<br />

roughy, squid <strong>and</strong> red cod. There does not appear to be any targeted fishing <strong>for</strong> rattail<br />

<strong>species</strong>.<br />

Recreational fishery characteristics<br />

24 MFish has no in<strong>for</strong>mation on recreational catch of rattails. Due to the offshore<br />

location <strong>and</strong> depth distribution of this <strong>species</strong>, recreational catch is likely to be<br />

negligible.<br />

Customary fishery characteristics<br />

25 MFish has no in<strong>for</strong>mation on recreational catch of rattails. Due to the offshore<br />

location <strong>and</strong> depth distribution of this <strong>species</strong>, customary catch is likely to be<br />

negligible.<br />
