Whist slightly off topic, I reckon NZ fishing policing, is so stringent on the "recreational" people (and poachers), so they can say "we prosecuted x number of cases last year" without having to say ""and none of them were Commercial Fishing interests"
If you haven't seen the excellent documentary, "The Price of Fish" by Mike Bhana, you should seek it out and do so.

Also, to the social media issue, I haven't heard of any wannabe, utubery star, attention whores, posting video, pictures, and podcasts, of them and their catch of 2,756 Paua.
