Commercial fishing in New Zealand really only started since 1960. 1960! These small islands are surrounded by a large mass of the oceans, have always been, and commercial fishing but only became a growth industry in the last 50 years. Some things never joined.

What are some possible reasons for this? Time? – Yes, but then that is also always existed and other countries have faced. Lack of motivation with people or lack of government-driven incentives? – Possibly. However, Maori were the builders of canoes. What purpose did this? Undoubtedly, You can count fishing as an incentive to building your canoe? So perhaps the government of New Zealand boosted the growth of the industry is sufficient.

To feed a growing population, the catch would have to be massive. Should be many, many canoes, each loaded to the hilt to make a dent at the origin of the islands for food. Even the fish have a short expiry date. This would be a very efficient transportation system should be in place to fish move inland and along the coast, once that was brought to shore.

And-line fishing using nets and spears would be possible from a canoe, trawling on the high seas on the other hand, no. New Zealand's coastline lends itself to small fishing ports, so it would be feasible for many small boats to work in coastal waters. In the history of its development there are many places of the small whaling along the coast which adequately fulfilled their roles.

However in reality was the need to be able to source fish from the ocean floor, where the catch would be great, leading to growth commercial fisheries in New Zealand.

Changes in fishing regulations in the fishery in the world increased from New Zealand to 4,400,000 km ², making it more 4th in the world, (some say 6) is a rare continental shelf means that the ocean around it is full of fish of many varieties.

However, the consumer market in the world asks: cod, flatfish (this is the plaice, sole, plaice and sole), herring, salmon, pollock, tuna, anchovies, halibut, hake, mackerel, sardine, redfish (or ocean perch), sardines, sea bass, shark, snapper, sturgeon (and caviar) and the whiting. This then is what commercial fishing in New Zealand should aim.

The solution to harvest fish from shore has been the factory vessels site in the fields of fisheries. These, while they are anchored smaller vessels towed out of the area and return, if possible, provided they are a burden complete. The factory ship quickly becomes the fish in a commercially viable product. The head, guts and bones are used also made it fishmeal that are in demand. When you are filled with factory ships, then returns to the country's coast, its owner.

This operation comprehensive treatment requires a large amount of capital and know-how to set up. New Zealand came to other nations to its partner in the startup process of trawling in waters deep shortly after the treaty was signed that extended their fishing zones. This then was the way forward in about 1960.

However, a documentary showing in July 2009 noted that New Zealand is now in a position to harvest their own fish without the help of foreign trawlers. More than half of all fish caught are not prosecuted in New Zealand, but in Thailand and China. (If you type in Google search – "Fishing in New Zealand Documentary" – you will find more information.)

Local fishermen are affected to the point that if a quota is reduced, or falls in danger of some kind, that is assessments on local fishermen, who are shortened and these reductions are given to factory ships, so that their shares are not restricted.

Only 55% of the ships today these days are those belonging to commercial fishermen in New Zealand, the rest are foreign owned.

Hoki and Orange Roughy are the most important fish catch in commercial fisheries in New Zealand. The government of New Zealand is very particular about the management and maintenance of their fish stocks. Approximately 90% of its reserves are years without touching a year. Maori people today has a third in the commercial fishing trade.
