 | Fish of New ZealandNumerous species of New Zealand fish are endemic (only occur here). Commercial fishermen and recreational fishermen are subjected to catch and size limits for each species. Some fish are nocturnal and some diurnal. Many of our fish are vegetarian while others eat smaller fish and crustaceans.
