Everyone carrying out the activity of fish farming must be registered on the Fish Farmer Register.
The register is managed by FishServe, on behalf of the Ministry of Fisheries.
After a regional council has issued a consent or a consent variation, an application for registration or a variation of a fish farmer’s registration must be completed by the person carrying out the activity of fish farming and returned to FishServe.
An application for registration or a variation of a fish farmer’s registration can be obtained at FishServe or (04) 460 9555.
