Aqueous copper bioavailability linked to shipwreck-contaminated reef sediments
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Pollution from the grounding or sinking of ships can have long lasting effects on the recovery and dynamics of coastal ecosystems. Research on the impact of copper (Cu) pollution from the 2011 MV Rena shipwreck at the ... -
Assessment of impacts of mechanical spat harvesting on the surf clams of Te Oneroa a Tōhē
(2020)Much of the mussel spat used to seed mussel aquaculture farms throughout New Zealand is sourced from Te Oneroa a Tōhē (90 Mile Beach) in Te Hiku (far north of New Zealand). The mussel spat washes ashore attached to seaweed ... -
Bonamia Response 2015: Report from the Technical Advisory Group on Resilience Breeding in Flat Oysters
(Ministry for Primary Industries, 2017)Bonamia ostreae is an unwanted and notifiable organism that was first detected in New Zealand in flat oysters (Ostrea chilensis) collected in 2014 from the Marlborough Sounds. It is not known how B. ostreae entered New ... -
The coastal habitats of Tairawhiti: A review of the scientific, local, and customary knowledge
(Environmental Research Institute, 2021)In Aotearoa/New Zealand, regional councils and unitary authorities have a range of responsibilities for decision making in the coastal and marine area (CMA). The New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010), in policy 11, ... -
The genetic structure of New Zealand's coastal benthos: using the estuarine clam Austrovenus stutchburyi, to determine rates of gene flow and population connectivity
(University of Waikato, 2011)For many benthic marine taxa, dispersal over large distances is dependent on a pelagic larval phase. It is through the dispersal process that benthic taxa can found new populations, colonise disturbed or degraded habitats ...

Ahumoana tawhito (ancient aquaculture): The translocation of toheroa (Paphies ventricosa) and other marine species by Māori
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Throughout time, humans have cultivated and translocated plants and animals. Ancient mariculture (the cultivation of marine species) often leaves little trace of human agency. Consequently, the extent to which mariculture ... -
Studies on the health and bacterial symbionts of toheroa (Paphies ventricosa)
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Disease outbreaks in marine species can have devastating consequences for host populations, host-associated species assemblages, ecosystem functioning, and for human users of these marine resources. At present, the risk ... -
The biogeography and trophic roles of coastal marine sponges (Porifera) from the west coast of the North Island, New Zealand: Influences of catchments.
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Anthropogenic activities are degrading coastal marine ecosystems globally. While the ecological and biodiversity implications of some of these impacts are well understood, for others there is a need for a greater understanding ... -
Microplastics in the marine environment: Sediment contaminant and bioaccumulation rates in bivalves within the Bay of Plenty
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Microplastic pollution is recognised as a significant anthropogenic issue in coastal ecosystems around the world. The accumulation of microplastics in coastal environments causes both direct and indirect effects on these ... -
Birds vs. Clams: Assessing the impacts of South Island pied oystercatcher predation on Toheroa at Ripiro Beach, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Managing the recovery of interacting species, such as predator and prey, is one of the most challenging factors of an ecosystem-based conservation approach. The actions taken to protect one species may be in conflict with ...
