Resumen
Descripción
New Zealand fisheries waters are home to at least 1131 species of shark, of which more than 70 have been recorded in fisheries. The term “shark”, as used generally in this document, refers to all sharks, rays, skates, chimaeras and other members of the Class Chondrichthyes. Some of these species support significant commercial fisheries, are prized as recreational game fishing species, and/or are of special significance to Maori. Some are also recognised as regionally or globally threatened or en dangered. Some shark species reside exclusively in our waters, while others also occur on the high seas and in other fisheries jurisdictions.
