Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You get quota based on rules in section 29B, except when other rules apply. Quota for some fish stocks is allocated based on how much was caught before. This applies to fish in Schedule 4C or 4D, tuna in New Zealand waters, and some fish outside New Zealand waters, as listed in Schedule 4C, Schedule 4D, or affected by section 17B(5)(b) or section 29B.
