Sent request to Auckland/Waikato Fish and Game Council again, using a new contact address.

From: Robyn Lingard
Auckland/Waikato Fish and Game Council

Hello James

We don’t administer Koura but I have found the below paragraph in the below website. I suggest you contact Department of Conservation and check the Fisheries Regulations.

https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rc...

A permit for recreational fishing is not needed to take koura. Since 1993 there has been a daily maximum combined bag limit of 50 koura per person, under the Fisheries (Amateur Fishing) Regulations 1986.

Regards
Robyn
