We've reintroduced kōura to Lake Ōkaro!! Thanks to kaitiaki from Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whaoa, Ngāti Rangitihi, Tūhourangi Tribal Authority & TALT. Next stage is setting up an ongoing monitoring programme with iwi to assess stocking success #Cawthron #FishFutures

It's taken a while but we finally got our Pā Kōura (artificial reef) into Lake Ōkaro. We are reintroducing kōura (#crayfish) into the lake now that water quality has improved due to the efforts of BOPRC, iwi & local landowners. FMI fishfutures.co.nz #Cawthron #FishFutures

Was out spotlighting kōura (#crayfish) with the Lynmore Cubs last Thursday as part of Conservation Week. Great time had by all. In the end we caught, measured and sexed 26 kōura from a small stream next to Lynmore Primary School #Rotorua All kōura were safely released #fieldwork

Our new paper is online at Environmental DNA. We use national stream macroinvertebrate datasets collected using benthic sampling and #eDNA to compare how well each quantifies stream ecosystem health. eDNA works well with the right approach and/or index onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to announce that the third chapter of my PhD thesis has been published 🥳 @DrPFranklin @dr_eleanor_gee @niwa_nz @waikato
ConservationPhysiology@conphysjournal

This study examined how temperature affects critical swimming speed in four migratory fish species. The authors call for fish passage solutions that consider temperature fluctuations, to preserve populations in a changing climate 🐟🐟 DOI: doi.org/10.1093/conphy…

New paper "Adaption of a traditional Māori fishing method for biomonitoring: using whakaweku for sampling benthic macroinvertebrates in streams". Whakaweku (bracken fern bundles) gave comparable results to kick-netting! #mātauranga #NIWA #kōura #crayfish tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Concern is mounting about the invasion of Corbicula sp. clams in the Waikato River. Over the span of 30 years, this invasive species greatly increased its range throughout river networks in France link.springer.com/article/10.100…
