Abstract
The New Zealand Gamefish Tagging Programme began in 1975. Release and recapture data is summarised, including the 7467 fish tagged and 121 fish recaptured during the years 2013–14 to 2015–16. The number of gamefish landed by New Zealand Sport Fishing Council clubs is recorded. The combination of data from these sources provides a reasonably complete record of recreational catch of billfish, mako and blue sharks. It is indicative of recreational catch for tuna and other large shark species.
