It is good practise to prepare the interim RIA now alongside the discussion document (even though Ministers have indicated they won’t be going to Cabinet). This will enable you to see what additional information is required for the final RIA and will help to ensure that you gather the necessary information during the public consultation process. You need to submit a process confirmation form so I have a record in our system and can formally confirm the QA process for the discussion document and interim RIA. The process confirmation form is available on Treasury’s website at: https://treasury.govt.nz/information-and-services/regulation/impact-analysis-requirements-regulatory- proposals The form shouldn’t take long to fill in. Please note in the form that Ministers are going to proceed with consultation without going to Cabinet. Thank you Linda Linda Cameron | Senior Analyst, Regulatory Quality Team | Te Tai Ōhanga - The Treasury s9(2)(k) | [email protected] From: Regulatory Impact Statement Sent: Thursday, 20 June 2019 2:40 PM To: Linda Cameron [TSY] Cc: s9(2)(g)(ii) Subject: RE: South Eastern Marine Protection - initial meeting Hi Linda As below, you will remember discussing a potential way forward for the South Eastern Marine Protection discussion and RIA with s9(2)(g)(ii) (on the 17 May 2019). The conclusion of the discussion was to complete a RIA alongside the discussion document on this. s9(2)(g)(ii) s9(2)(g)(ii) s9(2 has just contacted me about the latest developments in this area – s9(2)(g)(i) (g)(ii s9(2)(g)(i) s9(2)(g)(ii) My understanding is that and the team are in the process of confirming this with the Ministers, and making sure that they are aware of potential risks with this approach. s9(2)(g)(ii) has told me that he would like to continue with the QA process for this discussion document and RIA. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further. 1 20200088 TOIA Binder Doc 1 Page 2 of 82 Thanks s9(2)(g)(ii) From: Linda Cameron [TSY] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 13 May 2019 5:27 PM To: Regulatory Impact Statement < s9(2)(g)(ii) @mpi.govt.nz> Cc: s9(2)(g)(ii) < s9(2)(g)(ii) @mpi.govt.nz>; s9(2)(g)(ii) @mpi.govt.nz> Subject: RE: South Eastern Marine Protection - initial meeting s Hi , s9(2)(g)(ii) I am available on Friday 17 May from 11am-12 and 2-4.30pm.

The objective of the monitoring was to describe the reef fish communities and to establish whether populations within the marine reserve were demonstrating any changes in abundance or size that could be attributable to the removal of fishing pressure. The underwater visual census method was used to survey the four lo- cations (marine reserve and three non-reserve locations). It was found that all four locations were characterised by moderate densities of spot- ties, scarlet wrasse and reef-associated planktivores such as blue maomao, sweep and butterfly perch.

  • A Checklist of Fishes of the Aldermen Islands, North-Eastern New Zealand, with Additions to the Fishes of Red Mercury Island
    13 A CHECKLIST OF FISHES OF THE ALDERMEN ISLANDS, NORTH-EASTERN NEW ZEALAND, WITH ADDITIONS TO THE FISHES OF RED MERCURY ISLAND by Roger V. Grace* SUMMARY Sixty-five species of marine fishes are listed for the Aldermen Islands, and additions made to an earlier list for Red Mercury Island (Grace, 1972), 35 km to the north. Warm water affinities of the faunas are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION During recent years, and particularly the last four years, over 30 species of fishes have been added to the New Zealand fish fauna through observation by divers, mainly at the Poor Knights Islands (Russell, 1971; Stephenson, 1970, 1971; Doak, 1972; Whitley, 1968). A high proportion of the fishes of northern New Zealand have strong sub-tropical affinities (Moreland, 1958), and there is considerable evidence (Doak, 1972) to suggest that many of the recently discovered species are new arrivals from tropical and subtropical areas. These fishes probably arrive as eggs or larvae, carried by favourable ocean currents, and find suitable habitats for their development at the Poor Knights Islands, where the warm currents that transported the young fish or eggs maintain a water temperature higher than that on the adjacent coast, or islands to the south. Unless these fishes are able to establish breeding populations in New Zealand waters, they are likely to be merely transient. If they become established, they may begin to spread and colonise other off-shore islands and the coast. In order to monitor any spreading of new arrivals, or die-off due to inability to breed, it is desirable to compile a series of fish lists, as complete as possible, for the off-shore islands of the north-east coast of New Zealand.

  • Giant Boarfish
    148 analis (Waite) and P.compressa (White). Family Kyphosidae - sea chubs and rudderfishes This family contains about a dozen widespread species. They are thickly built, oval shaped fish which frequent coral reefs and rocky shores in most tropical and subtropical seas. In general, kyphosids are herbivorous, feeding on algae and other marine growth, although some species are planktivorous. The jaws possess incisor-like teeth at the front. These may be serrated, loosely attached and movable, or may be fixed. There are no molars. Other characteristics of this family are the complete, slightly arched lateral line and the single dorsal fin. Many of these fish will often follow ships, hence the common name !rudderfish1. Six species occur in New Zealand. Those found in the Reserve, parore, Girella tricuspidata, silver drummer, typhosus Sydney onus, sweep, Scorpis aequipinnis and blue maomao, S.violaceus, are common northern New Zealand species. The other two, the mado, Atypichthys striagatus, and the bluefish, Girella oyanea, are commonly found around the north-east offshore islands, but are rare on the coast. There is some argument surrounding the classification of the sweep, S.aequipinnis, and blue maomao, 5.violaceus. Many consider them to be different morphs of the same species. Others distinguish them as two different species. The two are similar in appearance and in meristic characteristics such as the numbers of fin rays and lateral line scales. Recently, Smith et al (1979) suggested that they should be treated as two separate species on the basis of electrophoretio analysis, body colour, head shape and the characteristic number of gill rakers.

The impact on and temporal Atmospheric Research, GPO Box 1538, Hobart responses of the biota to change are less well understood, but appear to be due to TAS 7001, Australia, 3Tasmanian Aquaculture influences of climate, as well as the non-climate related past and continuing human and Fisheries Institute, Private Bag 49, Hobart impacts. We attempt to resolve the agents of change by examining major temporal TAS 7001, Australia and distributional shifts in the fish fauna and making a tentative attribution of causal factors. Location Temperate seas of south-eastern Australia. Methods Mixed data sources synthesized from published accounts, scientific surveys, spearfishing and angling competitions, commercial catches and underwa- ter photographic records, from the ‘late 1800s’ to the ‘present’, were examined to determine shifts in coastal fish distributions. Results Forty-five species, representing 27 families (about 30% of the inshore fish families occurring in the region), exhibited major distributional shifts thought to be climate related. These are distributed across the following categories: species previously rare or unlisted (12), with expanded ranges (23) and/or abundance increases (30), expanded populations in south-eastern Tasmania (16) and extra- limital vagrants (4).
