Bluenose Fishery
Bluenose are found in the temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere. They like rough ground on the outer shelf
and upper slope, especially from 100 to 500 metres.
Bluenose are caught year-round, mainly by longlining, but also by Trawl around or on offshore reefs, seamounts, or drop-off areas.
New Zealand’s Bluenose fishery is sustainably managed by strict quotas, which allow only a set amount of Bluenose to be taken commercially each year.
