To ensure efficient sustainability of New Zealand's fishing stocks, commercial fishing is regulated under the Quota Management System (QMS): the Minister of Fisheries sets a total allowable catch (TAC) for each fish stock managed under the QMS based on an annual scientific assessment of population size of all major commercial fish species and, where possible, according to what is determined to be the maximum sustainable yield; the total allowable commercial catch (TACC), a subset of the TAC, is determined after taking into account non-commercial fishing interests and other fishing induced mortality.
