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 ...
