New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone is one of the world's largest yet accounts for only half a percent of the world's fish catch. This is mainly because the New Zealand continental shelf — roughly the area inside the 200-m depth contour and the most productive part of any fishery — is particularly narrow. Japan, on the other hand, reports a catch of fourteen times more fish from a much smaller EEZ.
