Seafood is one of New Zealand’s growing success stories, producing one billion meals annually for seafood lovers both in New Zealand and overseas.  Twenty years ago the country’s mid and deep-water fisheries lay largely unknown and the aquaculture industry was the dream of a few marine farm pioneers.  Now, with the growth of a world-class aquaculture industry and the controlled development of its fishing beds, the seafood industry is poised for further growth.

New Zealand is the world’s leader in fisheries management.  Based on sustainable harvest systems and sound environmental principles, the industry currently invests more than two percent of its gross returns into research and development.

With the world’s fourth largest coastal fishing zone, New Zealand harvests close to 50 species of fish and shellfish for export in a sustainable manner.
