Get recreational fish species information on the go with the Ministry for Primary Industries Recreational Fishing App.

The application helps you to identify all the other recreational fish species in your area that you are not sure of through images, then displays relevant information such as the minimum legal size, maximum daily limits and area bag limits.

Short videos embedded within the application show how to release undersize fish correctly and also how to measure/determine the sex of crayfish.
Local notices will give you updates on any temporary closures in the area.

MPI has developed the NZ Fishing Rules App for your Smartphones, Apple devices and Google Play for other phones and devices
