Fishing Contract Services (commercial)
Diane Frost
I have worked in the field of quota management and associated administration roles in the commercial fishing industry for over 20 years.
My knowledge of commercial fishing has been gained by a previous shared ownership of small inshore vessels. In recent years I have worked for small privately owned companies based in both Nelson and Greymouth.
Working in a range of different fisheries such as:-
- Orange Roughy (both inside and outside of EEZ)
- Alfonsino
- Hoki
- Albacore
- Ling
- Methods of fishing administered:-
- Trawl
- Setnetting
- Trolling
- Longlining
- Dredging
- Pair Trawling
I understand that commercial fishing is a challenging and physically demanding industry. It can be difficult for the owner operator who is often the Skipper of the vessel to find the necessary time for completion of MPI administration and associated tasks.
Maintaining a robust method of compliance and compliance checks throughout the fishing process from prior to the vessel sailing each trip – to the fish being received at the Licenced Fish Receiver stage.
Services:
- MPI returns
- Monthly harvest returns
- Fishplan management
- Individual species management each trip
- Trip by trip analysis
- Quota and non quota species management
- Documentation checking
- Compliance benchmarking
- Checks for unloading to LFR
- Dealing with MPI and Fishserve queries
- Project work

LYNISE ANNE KIREKA (EDEN)
It’s fair to say fishing is in my blood. As a kid I grew up around the wharf in Greymouth. I was known as ‘Spud’- I still am. I have great memories of playing on Dad’s boat (FV Chance) whitebaiting in the lagoon, playing pretend at the wheel, pinching the stash of juicy fruit…

Ali Undorf-Lay
