there is sufficient depth of water at low tide to keep the drop lines off the bottom.
The main Pacific oyster farming areas are located in sheltered sites on the north-east
coast of the North Island, with main centers at Bay of Islands, Whangaroa Harbour,
Mahurangi Harbour, and the Coromandel area. The farming method consists of oys-
ters supported on structures (racks) erected at the optimum growing level on the low-
er intertidal shore.
Tenures for mussel farming have been granted over 3920 hectares. Anannual crop of
some 67.000 greenweight tonnes is produced. After processing, this has an FOB val-
ue of approximately $ 140,000,000. Tenures for oyster farming have been granted
over 2200 hectare. This results in an annual crop with an FOB value of approximately
$ 45, 000,000.
       Other species that are farmed are king salmon and the New Zealand abalone
(known as paua). Salmon farming occurs only in the South Island either in sea cages
or in freshwater raceways. Annual production of salmon farms has remained static
over recent years at around 5000 tones greenweight. The FOB value of salmon ex-
ported from New Zealand was $ 35,000, 000 in 1999.
Paua farming occurs throughout the country, but is predominantly in the South Island
and the lower half of the North Island. Most paua are grown in barrrels suspended in
the water column. There are small of fledging industries for the flat oyster, freshwater
crayfish, Malaysian prawns, spiny lobsters and various aquatic plants (seaweeds).
There are a number of ornamental fish farms throughout New Zealand where goldfish
are raised and few species of ornamental or tropical fish are bred in geothermal water
or artificially heated water.
