Genetic identification of fish
(Centre for Biodiversity and Ecology Research, The University of Waikato, 2010-11)Our report shows that the straightforward extraction of DNA and amplification of appropriate genes can identify fish that are difficult to identify unequivocally from morphology alone. Three examples show that these ... -
Growth of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in warm-temperate lakes: implications for environmental change
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2013)To predict potential effects of climate and anthropogenic impacts on fish growth, we compared growth rates of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in nine closely located warm-temperate lakes of contrasting morphometry, ... -
An investigation of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) movement in the Waikato region using laser ablation otolith microchemistry
(The University of Waikato, 2008)The koi carp Cyprinus carpio is an invasive fish that has reached high numbers and biomass in the North Island of New Zealand, particularly in the Waikato region. This species has a variety of negative effects on aquatic ... -
An investigation to determine origin: age and otolith chemistry of a brown bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) found at Okawa Bay, Lake Rotoiti
(2009)Some time between 10 and 15 January 2009, a brown bullhead catfish(Ameiurus nebulosus) was found washed up on the shore of Okawa Bay, Lake Rotoiti. The elemental signature of the otolith was measured using laser ablation ... -
Otolith chemistry, stomach contents and stable isotope analysis of a snapper (Pagrus auratus) caught in the Waikato River at Ngaruawahia
(Centre for Biodiversity and Ecology Research, The University of Waikato, 2009-10)Analyses of stomach contents, stable isotopes and otolith microchemistry were carried out in order to ascertain the length of freshwater residence of a snapper (Pagrus auratus) caught in the Waikato River at Ngaruawahia ...
