Tçnâ koe Gabe,

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 request for the following:

I would like access to some QMS stats.
Specifically, TAC. ACE, and Catch broken down by each fishing stock and area for all years available.

This request is likely to require substantial time for collation of the information you have requested below. You have mentioned that you are interested in all years available. So as to develop a more manageable request, can you please provide more specifics about the particular information you are requesting, such as confirming the time period you are requesting? Please note that the ACE was first created from 1/10/2001.

Can you please advise if there is a period from that date that you may be interested in?

We also require clarification on whether you want a total for all years or a total for each year?

I would like to draw your attention to the Fisheries Infosite in the link below. Here you will be able to access a stock status overview, catch, value and sustainability information. Can you confirm if this information on catch and TACC information satisfies this part of your request?
https://fs.fish.govt.nz/Page.aspx?pk=16&...

This clarification will enable MPI to better respond to your request. In the absence of any clarification, MPI is likely to require an extension, or may consider refusing this request under 18(f) of the OIA. As you are aware, the OIA requires a decision to be provided as soon as practicable, so please let me know as soon as possible if you have any questions or issues.
