Goodbye Tarakihi: fishers were warned

From The Panel, 4:19 pm on 5 August 2019

The amount of Tarakihi that commercial fishers are allowed to take is about to be slashed, because Tarakihi numbers are in decline. Forest and Bird say this New Zealand staple has almost been fished out of existence.

Scott Macindoe, fisheries management at Legasea, explains whether this will save the fish and just how bad stocks are.
