Stella Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Interesting question. I don't know anyhting about this fish and did a quick search, turning up this Code of Practise: http://www.fish.govt.nz/NR/rdonlyres/33 ... actice.pdf It is an unwanted species and there are stiff penalties for having much to do with them other than killing them. If a non-commercial fisher catches them it must be killed immediately. Possession of a live one carries a penalty of $750. If you are serious I would suggest contacting DOC or MAF and seeing if it is possible to get a permit to own one. I suspect not, but sometimes these things are possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
