P G MILLEN, Clerk of the Executive Council. Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect. These regulations replace the Fisheries (Auckland Commercial Fishing Restrictions) Notice 1985 and continue many of the restrictions and controls. However, there are a number of new measures including— • (a) The introduction of Danish seine gear restrictions in the Hauraki Gulf: • (b) The closure of the area known as The Puddle to trawling and Danish seining: • (c) The introduction of a seasonal fishing prohibition near the Motu River in the Bay of Plenty: • (d) The imposition of controls on set net lengths in the Kaipara Harbour: • (e) A seasonal prohibition on the use or possession on board any vessel of a trawl net with a mesh less than 125mm in the cod-end. • (f) A prohibition on the taking or possession of spotted black groper. These regulations should be considered in conjunction with the Fisheries (Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986 (SR 1986/215) which impose prohibitions and controls of nationwide application.
