Oceanlaw New Zealand wrote a very interesting article on the On Board Filleting and Shucking Rules.

It covers the relevant regulations advising when it is permissible for a fisherman to fillet the fish at sea; and when, subsequently, must the fish be consumed. Click on the link below to read this article.
