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 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 ... -
Assessment of effects of proposed treated wastewater discharge to the Te Arikiroa Thermal Channel and Sulphur Bay (Lake Rotorua)
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2018)After 2019, irrigation operations at the Land Treatment System (LTS) in the Whakarewarewa Forest are scheduled to cease. A number of options and locations have been considered for the discharge of the treated wastewater ... -
Assessment of microbranding as an alternative marking technique for long-term identification of New Zealand lizards
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2012)‘Microbranding’, a system for individually identifying reptiles and amphibians based on a numbered code of spot brands applied to the body and limbs, was tested on New Zealand skinks and geckos. Common geckos (Woodworthia ... -
A bioenergetic assessment of the influence of stocking practices on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) growth and consumption in a New Zealand lake
(Blackwell Publishing, 2013)To investigate the carrying capacity and factors affecting growth of rainbow trout in Lake Rotoiti, we employed a bioenergetics model to assess the influence of stocking rates, timing of releases and prey abundance on ...

The uptake of artificial roosts by long-tailed bats (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) in Hamilton City
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Globally, short to medium-term mitigation for the loss of bat roosting habitat has largely favoured the implementation of artificial roosts. However, their implementation has somewhat outpaced research, resulting in highly ... -
Physiological effects of aluminium in relation to diel pH changes on fish and kōura
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Alum (aluminium sulphate, Al₂(SO₄)₃) dosing is used to reduce eutrophication of lakes by sequestering phosphorus and preventing its uptake by phytoplankton for growth. When applied to water at circum-neutral pH, alum forms ... -
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 ... -
Use of three New Zealand chironomids, Chironomus zealandicus, Chironomus sp. a and Polypedilum pavidus (lnsecta: Diptera) as biotoxicity test organisms
(The University of Waikato, 1999)Three species of New Zealand chironomid, Chironomus sp. a, Chironomus zealandicus and Polypedilum pavidus were studied for their potential as biological indicators of freshwater environmental pollution and for use as ... -
Properties of single fibers in global extraocular muscle of the cane toad, Bufo marinus
(The University of Waikato, 1999)Very limited information exists on the contractile physiology of the specialized muscle fibers that make up vertebrate extraocular muscle (EOM). This study was undertaken to measure some contractile properties of fibers ...
