Abundance of mysid shrimp (Tenagomysis chiltoni) in shallow lakes in the Waikato region and implications for fish diet
(2009)Tenagomysis chiltoni, a species of mysid shrimp, is widely distributed amongst the riverine lakes of the lower Waikato basin. They appear to thrive in turbid waters, with the greatest abundances found in lakes such as Waahi ... -
Acetylene reduction associated with zostera novazelandica Setch. and Spartina alterniflora Loisel., in Whangateau harbour, North Island, New Zealand
(1990)Nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) was investigated in Zostera novazelandica Setch. and Spartina alterniflora Loisel., in the North Island of New Zealand. Moderate rates of acetylene reduction were found in sediments ... -
Acoustic and radio-transmitter retention in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in New Zealand
(CSIRO Publishing, 2009)Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) are notoriously difficult to monitor in water temperatures above 20◦C using telemetry owing to transmitter expulsion. To reduce transmitter loss, radio transmitters were anchored to the pelvic ... -
Age and growth of longfinned eels (Anguilla dieffenbachii) in pastoral and forested streams in the Waikato River basin, and in two hydro-electric lakes in the North Island, New Zealand
(RSNZ Publishing, 1993)Growth rates of New Zealand endemic longfinned eels (Anguilla dieffenbachii) from streams in pasture and indigenous forest, and from two hydroelectric lakes (Lakes Karapiro and Matahina), were estimated by otolith examination. ... -
Age composition, growth, and reproduction of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in the lower Waikato, New Zealand
(Royal Society of New Zealand, 2006)A total of 566 koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the lower Waikato region were aged from scales and opercular bones, and growth was modelled with the von Bertalanffy growth function. There was no difference in growth rate ...

The aquatic ecology of Lake Rotokare
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The biology of three endemic and one exotic species of fish (banded kokopu, Galaxias fasciatus; shortfin eel, Anguilla australis; longfin eel, Anguilla dieffenbachii; and the European perch, Perca fluviatilis) was investigated ... -
Seasonal and spatial patterns in nitrogen cycling and food web interactions in Lake Taupō New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Lakes with high water quality and low productivity, commonly referred to as ‘oligotrophic’, are often viewed as relatively pristine and highly aesthetic ecosystems, but may still require management of nutrient inputs and ... -
Comparative hypoxia responses and oxygen sensing in galaxiid fishes
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Aquatic ecosystems are inherently characterised by limited oxygen availability and fluctuations in dissolved oxygen concentration, and therefore, environmental hypoxia (i.e. low oxygen conditions) is common. However, in ... -
Modelling temporal dynamics of discharge and nutrient loading from a mixed land use catchment, and interactions with a eutrophic, temperate lake under climate change
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Understanding anthropogenic–induced changes in catchment water discharge and nutrient loads is critical for eutrophication assessment and sustainable management of receiving environments. Anthropogenic activities have ... -
The Fate and Effects of Contaminants in Estuarine Environments
(University of Waikato, 2017)Estuaries are sensitive environments regarding their response to anthropogenic events. The accumulation of toxic trace elements, such as Cd and Pb, has detrimental consequences on benthic community composition and function ...
