Fish survey of 2019

The Friends of Waiwhetu helped a Citizen Science project by counting fish species at several sites above and below a weir. Several species were found: short-fin eel, long-fin eel, inanga,
common bully, giant kokupu. This year there were giant common bullies and many eels.

Three sites below and three above the weir can tell us how well the inanga and eels are managing to swim upstream. Images below by Grant Webby
