  8. Bumped into this on the MAF website today and thought it might impact some members ??? Especially those who go fishing in waters containing Bull head catfish. :bounce: :bounce: http://www.fish.govt.nz/en-nz/Consultat ... efault.htm MFish invites comments on a proposed Catfish Code of Practice that will support the regulatory measures recently introduced. The amateur fishing regulations were amended so that non-commercial fishers are now required to kill all catfish immediately on capture and only dead catfish may be possessed. The commercial fishing regulations were also amended so that commercial fishers are now only allowed to possess live catfish up until the time that they sell their catch to a licensed fish receiver. MFish has drafted a Code of Practice to help avoid catfish (of all life-stages) from being unintentionally released into new waterways. It is proposed that the Code of Practice will include the periodic cleaning of nets and fishing gear in salt baths and the inspection and cleaning of boats and trailers before leaving boat ramps. Commercial fishers are also encouraged through the Code of Practice to kill any catfish that are not destined for sale. MFish invites your comments on the draft Code of Practice by 31st August 2007. Go to the MFish website to Download the draft Catfish Code of Practice: Brown Bullhead Catfish - Code of Practice (PDF: 64KB) MFish welcomes written submissions on the draft Code of Practice. Written submissions are due by 5pm 31st August 2007 and should be sent to: Eve Oatley Ministry of Fisheries PO Box 19747 Avondale Auckland 1746 eve.oatley@fish.govt.nz If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Eve Oatley at the above email address or on (09) 820 7696.

  12. Also Ok with me. Will be great to identify so many mbrs online.
  13. Hello All I am the current FNZAS Breeding Scheme co-ordinator. Now firstly, I would like to say that when I accepted this position - I was NOT handed "The complete guide to accepting FNZAS breeding scheme registrations". Therefore I have also had to interpret the rules in the spirit of fair play - and when in doubt, by checking with the FNZAS executive. If anything I state below is wrong, I apologise for my error - and if there is any continued disagreement please notify me in writing (email is fine) and I will have the matter decided by the FNZAS Exec (as per rule 12) 1st. To enter you must be a financial FNZAS mbr. 2nd. Registration is made by completing a FNZAS registration form, or by providing the same information in any "signed" format to your club breeding scheme co-ordinator. 3rd. Part of the registration requirements is completing the name of the Affilliated Club which you are a registered member of, and are registering the breeding under. 4th. The witness is therefore the Affilliated Clubs nominated club breeding co-ordinator, or ANY other person that the CLUB "nominates" or accepts as a witness for breeding scheme registrations. 5th. I will not accept ANY member witnessing their own fish. Only when it is not possible for a nominated witness to "personally view" the fry has it been suggested that photographic evidence would be accepted. This method of registration is NOT offered to any single club or member - and may be subject to FNZAS Exec approval on a case by case basis. PLEASE NOTE: To my knowledge photographic evidence has not yet been required to be accepted - we have always found an acceptable Witness. The intention is to make it as easy as possible to register your fish, using the "witness" to deter the accidental or deliberate breaching of the rules. At the same time the FNZAS exec do not have the time to witness/investigate all registrations - so we rely on the affiliated clubs to ensure registration details are accurate via their nominated co-ordinator or witnesses. As far as I am concerned, a club may nominate 1, or 100 witnesses, and they do not have to be FNZAS members - but they do have to be accepted by the club accepting the registration. It makes sense however to use people who have some knowledge of fish - to witness the breeding of fish as per the scheme rules. However it is also intended that the club nominates an Official Breeding Scheme Co-ordinator who accepts the club members registration forms, stores a copy of the original form, and communicates as the club representative to the FNZAS breeding scheme Co-ordinator. Now as for the FISH (the reason for the scheme), it is intended that you own the fish, and have either deliberately set out to breed them - or at least kept them for a period of time in conditions that have eventuated in their attempt to perpetuate the species. If the fry all die, or if only 1 or 2 survive - the chances of the species surviving are limited. Hence the nominal number of 10 fry was agreed years ago. This being a reasonable number of young accross all species of fish which would give them a chance to grow up and themselves breed. It was also agreed that to meet the scheme definitions of "breeding", the fry had to reach the age of 30 days old. This being a reasonable indication that the young are healthy, as well as a sign that they will continue to grow up and one day breed themselves. Now we could all argue that some fish have more young than others, that some breed easier than others - and you are all correct !!! But we want to keep things simple so that YOU WILL breed your fish and perpetuate the species. The requirement that the fish be registered (and witnessed) before they are 60 days old - is so that we receive a STEADY flow of registrations during the entire year. It also gives the "witness" a chance of seeing the members "Breeders" and "Juveniles" of the same species - indicating that they were bred by the member. And finally - the only FNZAS member not eligible to enter the COMPETION - is the CURRENT FNZAS Breeding Scheme Co-ordinator. This is for obvious reasons.
  14. Nice fish - but GREAT Photos :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: . More entries for the breeding scheme ???
