  • COCKLES (COC 3) Otago Peninsula (Austrovenus Stutchburyi) Tuaki
    COCKLES (COC 3) COCKLES (COC 3) Otago Peninsula (Austrovenus stutchburyi) Tuaki Waitati Inlet Purakunui Otago Harbour Papanui Inlet 1. FISHERY SUMMARY COC 3 was introduced into the Quota Management System in October 2002 with a TAC of 1500 t; comprising of a customary allowance of 10 t, a recreational allowance of 10 t, an allowance for other fishing related mortality of 10 t, and a TACC of 1470 t. Historical catch limits can be seen in Table 1. 1.1 Commercial fisheries Cockles are present at various locations around the Otago Peninsula but are only commercially fished from Papanui Inlet, Waitati Inlet, and Otago Harbour (under a current special permit). Commercial fishing in Papanui and Waitati Inlets began in 1983. A limit of 104 t was in effect for Papanui and Waitati Inlets combined from 1986–87 until 1991–92. From 1992–93 to 1998–99, the catch limits were 90 t for Papanui Inlet and 252 t for Waitati Inlet. In April 2000, the catch limits were increased to 427 t for Papanui Inlet and 746 t for Waitati Inlet. In 2002 when cockles entered the QMS spatial restrictions upon harvest within COC 3 were removed. Commercial landings from Papanui and Waitati Inlets are shown in Table 1. Since August 2009 cockles have been taken from Otago Harbour under a special permit in order to investigate the ecosystem effects of commercial cockle harvesting in this location. This permit states no explicit limit to the tonnage able to be taken but does delimit the area where harvest will be taken and currently expires on the 31st of December 2015.

  • La Crème De La Crème
    W E L C O M E T O T H E H O C K E N Friends of the Hocken Collections B U L L E T I N NU M B E R 26 : November 1998 La Crème de la Crème THE MOVE of the Hocken Library, reconsolidated with Hocken Archives, into the old Otago Co-operative Dairy Company building on Anzac Avenue, is an opportune time to examine some of the material on the dairy industry held within the Hocken collections. While the NZ dairy industry is now more often associated with Taranaki and the Wai- kato, Otago has a special place in the history of that industry. The first co-operative dairy factory in New Zealand was located on the Otago Peninsula, and the country’s first refrigerated butter export sailed on the s.s.Dunedin from Port Chalmers in 1882. Both were seminal events for the industry that was to become one of New Zealand’s most important export earners. The first moves away from simple domestic production of butter and cheese towards a more commercial operation in New Zealand were probably made either on Banks Peninsula or in Taranaki in the 1850s. In 1855, some five tons of butter and 34 tons of cheese were exported from Banks Peninsula to the rest of New Zealand and Australia, while at some time during the decade a ‘factory’ was established in Taranaki to collect milk from several suppliers to produce cheese for local sale. However, the birth of the co-operative system which came to typify the New Zealand dairy industry took place in Otago.
