Lucid Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I stumbled across the following site this afternoon some interesting fish fore sale on this site and i am wishing i was over seas at the moment due to the increased variety of fish available with out the hassle of permits and licences. www.riverwonders.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 where can one find information about what fish and plants are allowed to be brought/bred in the country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holiday Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 I wouldn't even start to find out about it unless you have a huge bank account. M.A.F hold all imported fish for six weeks and do six inspections on them. And with a charge rate of $75 an hour for doing this that equals huge dollars...

Dark Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 do they have some kind of listings? eg: i have been told a few times that valisneria is not allowed to be sold or grown in NZ. not only do i have a lot of it that i am considering selling but i have had some shops offer to purchase it/exchange it for goods or services. it would be interesting to see what they think as well as not getting in trouble for growing it if such a situation should eventuate where they find out and crack down.

Caryl Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 MAF have a web site - easy to look it up. Can't remember the address off hand though, will have to search. MAF isn't called MAF though anymore I don't think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big PDF here that bears looking at: http://www.niwa.co.nz/rc/prog/aquaticpl ... plants.pdf and all sorts of good info/pictures here: http://www.niwa.co.nz/rc/prog/aquaticplants/index.html Andrew.

Dark Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Here it is! The Unwanted Organisms Register Thanks for the pointers - this is actually a very useful resource! In direct relation to my question about vallisneria; Vallisneria Gigantea aka eelgrass aka wild celery(?) is the only offender they list The reference materia from NIWA is also good and not only that, it agrees with MAF! Always good when all the departments are working together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Well dark, if you'd asked me which vallis plants were banned I could have told you that :lol: Mind you, you wouldn't have found that site would you? Ain't learnin' a wonnerful thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
