Atkins, A.M. | Stewart, E.R.
New Zealand's arrow squid, Nototodarus spp., are amongst the most abundant commercial species in the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and are the basis of a substantial jig and trawl fishery. The jig fishery started with experimental fishing by a few Japanese vessels in 1971 and has expanded to the current annual influx of 80-185 vessels in both foreign licenced and chartered capacities.
