Reply to Chisholm (2011), Conservation status of New Zealand freshwater fish, 2009; Allibone et al.(2010)

Abstract

Chisholm (2011) makes a number of statements regarding the longfin eel fishery and the monitoring of this fishery, and has questioned the threat ranking of this species by Allibone et al. (2010). Chisholm (2011) also notes that two reports were provided to the expert panel to consider as part of the threat ranking process.
