The meat and liver of a great white shark have been seized by the Department of Conservation following a search warrant at a residential address in Tauranga.
A man who lives at the address is now helping the department's investigators with their inquiries.
A press release from the department said the warrant was executed by its investigators following the discovery of the shark's head at a beach at the base of Mount Maunganui in May.
