SEA CHANGE 05.jpg

The fishery for pot-caught Chatham Islands blue cod ticks many quality and sustainability boxes: target fish are brought to the surface alive and in perfect condition; non-target fish likewise, so they can be released unharmed; undersized fish escape through the meshes; there is minimal impact to the seabed and the benthic communities that live there; and the bait is paua guts, a by-product of the paua fishery. The fish in this pot, caught to order, are destined for restaurant tables in Melbourne and Sydney.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 130 November-December 2014.
