Subject: Official Information request - NIWA and Bream Bay Aquaculture
Park New Zealand Fish releases

 

Dear National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited,

 

Is it correct that deformed Kingfish (with bulbous heads) been released
into the open sea?

How did these kingfish get deformed?

What fish food was given to the Kingfish to deform them?

When were the kingfish released into the open sea?

Have any fish species been released into the open sea in the last ten
years?

If so where were they released from?

Were hormones of some sort given to the fish or placed into the fish food?

What caused the kingfish heads to become deformed?

What species of fish is the Bream Bay Aquaculture Park New Zealand
breeding, and experimenting with?

What participation did the Mahurangi Technical Institute and Paul Decker
Manager of the Aquaculture/Research division play?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Graham Carter
