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 ...

Landscape-level variation in stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen across aquatic ecosystems in New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) are frequently used in food web studies as natural biological indicators for tracking ecological processes, interactions, and energy flows from the basal plant ... -
Fish biomass in Taranaki streams in relation to sources and availability of energy
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Light and temperature are the principal drivers of ecosystem function influencing nutrient cycling, energy flows, and food web dynamics. Solar irradiance controls stream thermodynamics, and in-stream temperature governs ... -
Native New Zealand fish: lethal and sublethal effects of pentachlorophenol on early and adult life stages
(The University of Waikato, 1998)The sensitivity of four New Zealand freshwater fish species to 99.5% pure pentachlorophenol was studied. For one part of the study, four early life stages of smelt (Retropinna retropinna), inanga (Galaxias maculatus), koaro ... -
Spatial structuring and patterns of connectivity among Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) stocks in the Southern Ocean: a view through otolith chemistry
(The University of Waikato, 2022)An important prerequisite of sustainable fisheries management is knowledge about the spatial structure of fish populations. Such information provides a basis for understanding population dynamics and connectivity as well ... -
Abundance, behaviour and habitat requirements of the banded kokopu Galaxias fasciatus Gray (Pisces: Galaxiidae)
(The University of Waikato, 1998)The native freshwater banded kokopu (Galaxias fasciatus Gray) is generally regarded as a nocturnal predator of small native forest streams. Current methods for determining absolute abundances of this species in these ...
