Title: Stock assessment of kahawai (Arripis trutta) in KAH 1.
FAR-2016-26-KAH1-Stock-Assessment.pdf (883.9 kb)
This assessment updates the 2006 KAH 1 assessment and investigates potential sources of uncertainty. The data used to estimate the natural mortality rate is reviewed and a higher rate is now considered plausible. Alternative indices of abundance were offered to the model and the magnitude of the recreational catch history is now better informed. The model appears to be insensitive to plausible values of steepness. All model configurations suggest that the KAH 1 is at or above the target level of 52% B0.

Title: FAR 2015/52 Web camera and creel survey monitoring of recreational fisheries in FMAs 1, 8, and 9.
FAR-2015-52-2912-MAF2012-02-obj1-2-3-MS13-RR7.pdf (635.1 kb)
Web camera imagery has been used to track trends in recreational boating effort at key boat ramps in FMA 1 since 2004–05 and in FMAs 8 & 9 since 2006–07. This report provides indices of recreational effort based on these data, which are further combined with creel survey data collected over a shorter period to provide snapper and kahawai harvest indices. The inferred long term trend in snapper and kahawai harvesting in the Hauraki Gulf has been confirmed by survey based harvest estimates provided by aerial-access surveys in 2004–05 and 2011–12.

Title: FAR 2014/60 Length and age compositions of recreational landings of kahawai in KAH 1 from January to April in 2011 and 2012.
FAR_2014_60_2644_MAF2010-03 Objectives 1&2.pdf (1.0 MB)
This report documents a further two years of recreational catch sampling from KAH 1, which took place during the first 4 months of 2011 and 2012. Trends in length and age distributions from East Northland, the Hauraki Gulf and the Bay of Plenty are broadly consistent with those seen in the existing 8 year time series lasting from 2001 to 2008. A time series of total mortality estimates suggests that overall rates of mortality have declined in recent years and are at acceptable levels.

FAR_2014_54_2765_INS2012-01 Obj. 1, MS3, RR3 (KAH).pdf (15.6 MB)
This report documents the age determination protocol for kahawai, describing the current scientific methods used in New Zealand for otolith preparation and age determination to ensure accuracy and consistency over time. A brief history and the changes in the methodologies used in ageing kahawai are reported, and a description of the reference collection, and annotated examples of kahawai otolith preparations are also included.

Annual indices of relative abundance for trevally and kahawai in the Bay of Plenty were estimated using aerial sightings data to the end of 2010–11. There were insufficient data collected in east Northland so indices were not developed there.

Title: Aerial-access recreational harvest estimates for snapper, kahawai, red gurnard, tarakihi and trevally in FMA 1 in 2011–12
FAR_2013_70_2650_MAF2011-02 Obj1 and 2 .pdf (1.2 MB)
An Aerial-Access survey approach was used to estimate the recreational harvest of snapper, kahawai, trevally, gurnard and tarakihi from QMA 1 for the 2011–12 fishing year. This survey approach combines aerial and boat ramp survey data to estimate the harvest taken on each survey day. The harvest estimates reported here are of a similar magnitude to those provided by two other independent and concurrent studies, which suggests that they are reasonably accurate, and fit for management purposes.

Title: Length and age composition of KAH 1 purse seine, set net, and ring net landings sampled in 2011 and 2012
FAR_2013_53_2688_KAH2011-01 Obj1, MS3 pdf.pdf (687.8 kb)
This report describes catch sampling from three commercial KAH 1 fisheries during the 2011 and 2012 calendar years: the Bay of Plenty purse seine and Hauraki Gulf set net and ring net fisheries. Approximately half of the landed purse seine catch in both years was sampled, resulting in age distributions dominated by the 5 and 6 age classes. Ultimately the set net and ring net fisheries were regarded as one combined fishery because of method ambiguity and because they both tended to land 4 to 5 year old fish.
