Not any more. At the outset of the Quota Management System resource rentals were charged for every tonne of fish. The intention was to share the benefits from the commercial use of fisheries.

In 2017/18 levies totalled $25 million only. The Crown pays the balance of costs on behalf of the public. More here.
