Help protect our kaimoana

Biosecurity New Zealand

The Bonamia ostreae parasite is here and it has the potential to harm our treasured Bluff oysters.

There is a rāhui and Controlled Area Notice that prohibits fishing in a small part of the Foveaux Strait. See the MPI website for coordinates and details.

When fishing anywhere else, keep your boat’s hull clean. Wash down gear between locations. Don’t move shellfish into different places and don’t throw your shells overboard.

If you do find sick looking oysters, keep them on ice and call the Biosecurity NZ hotline on 0800 80 99 66.
