Origin: New Zealand
Sustainability: The Solander Group is New Zealand's largest single quota owner and fisher for Southern Bluefin Tuna (NZ Quota Management System code = STN).
Being a migratory species, Southern Bluefin Tuna fishing must be managed sustainably by a number of Nations. Most importantly Japan whom sole significant consumer of SBT.
New Zealand is a signatory to CCSBT - an arrangement between most SBT fishing countries to maintain and monitor an agreed total catch. New Zealand's current allocation under CCSBT is 400 tonnes (less than 0.05% of the global total) and is managed strictly under New Zealand's own QMS.
Every fish is carefully counted and recorded, including those taken by whales. The majority of fish caught in NZ EEZ are larger, more mature fish.
