Fisheries (Reporting) Amendment Regulations, 2014 (2014/280).

These Regulations amend the Fisheries (Reporting) Regulations 2001 to reflect— the ban on shark finning in New Zealand fisheries waters imposed by the Fisheries (Commercial Fishing) Amendment Regulations (No 2) 2014; and related changes made by the Fisheries (Schedule 6) Order 2014. They insert new definitions of shark fins and shark fins attached (and related definitions) for the purposes of the changes to Schedule 3 of the 2001 Regulations; make consequential to provisions in Schedule 3 concerning landed state codes; insert new Part 6B into Schedule 3. New Part 6B specifies the species and status of fish for which new destination type code Z must be used. The species are blue shark, mako shark, and porbeagle shark, which are allowed to be returned to the sea dead or near-dead under related changes made to the Fisheries Act 1996 by the Fisheries (Schedule 6) Order 2014.
