Abundance and Function of Multiple Haemoglobin Isomorphs from Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(University of Waikato, 2011)Haemoglobins perform the vital physiological function of transporting oxygen from the external environment to the tissues. Poikilothermic rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss = Salmo gairdneri = S. irideus) produce multiple ... -
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 ... -
Anthropogenic phosphorus loads to Lake Rotorua
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2015)Past wastewater disposal practices and ongoing catchment land-use intensification have resulted in the eutrophication of Lake Rotorua. These changes have been associated with elevated nutrient loads to the lake from point ... -
Aquatic ecology of Lake Rotokare, Taranaki, and options for restoration
(Environmental Research Institute, The University of Waikato, 2013)Lake Rotokare is a 17.8-ha natural lake in eastern Taranaki, located 12 km east of Eltham in the 230-ha Rotokare Scenic Reserve. In 2008, the Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust completed construction of an 8.2-km predator proof ... -
Assessment of fish populations in Lake Horowhenua, Levin
(Environmental Research Institute, The University of Waikato, 2013)Lake Horowhenua (Waipunahau) is of substantial historical, cultural and recreational value to the people of the Horowhenua region. However, water quality and biodiversity within the lake has been in decline for a number ...

Canine (Canis familiaris) scent detection of invasive brown bullhead catfish (Ameriurus nebulosus) in lake water samples
(The University of Waikato, 2023)Brown bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) were deliberately introduced to New Zealand from North America in the 1880s and populations have since increased significantly in the Auckland, Waikato, and Bay of Plenty regions. ... -
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 ... -
Locating whitebait (Galaxias argenteus) eggs via canine scent detection
(The University of Waikato, 2021)The New Zealand whitebait fishery consists of five species of Galaxiidae fish and constitutes a culturally important commercial and recreational resource for New Zealand. Despite efforts by the Department of Conservation ...
