Urwin and Company Limited owns quota for a variety of species, key species caught and processed are: Blue Cod, Gurnard, Flat Fish, Elephant, Monkfish, Groper, Trumpeter, Tarakihi, Red Cod, Ling, Rig, Shark, Dogfish and Leatherjacket, Skate, Rock Lobster and Oysters.
One of the most popular and sought after is Blue Cod which is caught in the Southland Fish Management Area 5, an area containing more than half the total New Zealand Blue Cod quota.
The much cooler waters in the Southern Ocean area creates an extremely favourable environment, producing larger species renowned for their superior flavor and texture that discerning customers seek. Sea temperatures can vary considerably and storms prevail due to the temperature contrast between ice from the Antarctic and the open ocean, creating some of the strongest winds on the planet. Much of the surrounding coastal land area is home to New Zealand’s heritage parks and forests. This isolated area with its windswept coastline and low density population creates the ideal habitat for fish breeding grounds in pristine waters. However, the extreme weather can prevent the vessels from leaving Port for several days.
Fish species are sold in various states depending upon seasonality and customer specifications.
