Top Silver Warehou Fishing Countries

The silver warehou (Seriolella punctata) is a deepwater fish species found primarily in the temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around New Zealand and southern Australia. Recognized for its silvery body and commercial value, silver warehou is targeted mainly by trawl fisheries. New Zealand is the leading country in harvesting this species, where it is managed as part of the country's Quota Management System to ensure sustainable yields. Australia also has a significant, though smaller, silver warehou fishery, mainly off the coasts of Tasmania and Victoria. Both countries export silver warehou, with New Zealand being the primary supplier to international markets, reflecting the species' importance to their respective fishing industries.
