Chemical ecological insights into metabolites of the New Zealand marine sponge, Cliona celata
(University of Waikato, 2015)Marine sponges are known to produce secondary metabolites that have roles including chemical defence against cellular challenge. An investigation into Cliona celata around the Bay of Plenty (New Zealand) was conducted in ... -
Effects of catastrophic coastal landslides on the Te Angiangi Marine Reserve, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2013)The Te Angiangi Marine Reserve protects 446 hectares of coastline considered to be representative of the nearshore marine environment of southern Hawke’s Bay. It was established in 1997, and since then has been an area ... -
Estuarine Condition and Macro-benthic Communities in Te Tāhuna o Rangataua, Te Awanui, Tauranga Harbour
(University of Waikato, 2015)Te Tāhuna o Rangataua is a semi-enclosed, shallow sub estuarine embayment in the southern most end of the Tauranga Harbour. In 1974, a large portion of the sub estuary was reclaimed for the siting of the Te Maunga Wastewater ... -

(University of Waikato, 2015)Estuaries are important nursery habitats for many fish species, both in New Zealand and worldwide, characterised by high levels of primary production, shallow warmer waters, and affording relative protection from predators. ... -
Mapping the ecological and biophysical character of seabed habitats of the Paraninihi Marine Reserve, Taranaki, New Zealand.
(University of Waikato, 2015)Habitat mapping is important for determining the spatial distribution of biological and physical components of the seabed. Conventional surveying methods, such as diver or drop camera surveys are time consuming and constrained ... -
The Effects of Contaminated Rena Sediments on Juvenile Paua (Haliotis iris)
(University of Waikato, 2015)The grounding of the MV Rena on Otaiti resulted in the release of heavy fuel oil and container debris contaminants into the surrounding environments including the rocky shores of the adjacent Mōtītī Island. This is the ... -
The Taxonomy of Demospongiae (Porifera) from the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand - Connecting Linnaean and Phylogenetic Classification
(University of Waikato, 2015)The ability to accurately identify species is prerequisite for assessing levels of biological diversity and a fundamental requirement for ecological research. In recent times, there has been a shortfall in biologists who ... -
Toitu Te Moananui a Toi – The Effects of the MV Rena on the Water Quality, Chemistry and Zooplankton of Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef)
(University of Waikato, 2015)Humans have had a profound effect on the world’s oceans, particularly through pollution. Marine pollution incidents are particularly important and increasingly involve both petrochemical and metal contamination. The effects ... -
Toxicological effects of MV Rena pollutants to New Zealand fish and lobster
(University of Waikato, 2014)As part of the Rena Long Term Environmental Recovery Programme commissioned by the Ministry for the Environment in response to the grounding of the MV Rena on Astrolabe Reef (Otaiti), an experimental study of ecotoxicological ...
