The number of stocks of blue cod in New Zealand waters is unknown. Nine Quota Management Areas (QMA) including extra-territorial waters have been defined based on a general review of the distribution and relative abundance of blue cod, and tagging experiments would appear to support this separation (Ministry of Fisheries, 2009a). As the stock structure has not been definitively determined, all nine areas are addressed in this profile.
