Hundreds of snapper are floating in the sea off Auckland, and are washing up dead or dying on beaches off the Hauraki Gulf.
Fisheries New Zealand is warning the public not to eat the fish "for safety reasons".
Local fishers had discovered the dead fish on 23 February and reported to the Ministry for Primary Industries.
