New Zealand fisheries assessment reportAbstract: The gamefish tagging programme has been an integral part of the New Zealand marine sports fishery since the mid 1970s. The species that form the focus of the programme are striped marlin (Kajikia audax), mako shark (Isunis oxyrinchus), blue shark (Prionace glauco), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacores), and yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi). Worldwide there has been a growing trend toward the catch and release of large pelagic species hooked by recreational fishers. The collection of movement and, on occasion, growth information through cooperative tagging programmes with recreational fishers is a cost-effective way of collecting information on large pelagic species that are difficult to study by other means. However, in cooperative programmes, tagging may be spread over a long period and it is difficult to control the tagging event and quality of reporting.
