To get the most benefit from a fish stock in the long term, we need to maximise our yield without damaging the fish population we rely on.

El Niño accounts for less than 25 percent of the year-to year variance in seasonal rainfall and temperature at most locations in New Zealand.

Here are some simple steps to minimise the effects of dairying on water quality and mahinga kai.

Whitebait are the juveniles of five species of galaxiidae, a family of fish confined to the Southern Hemisphere.

As much of this climate zone is sheltered by high country to the west, south and in some areas to the east, it is the sunniest region of New Zealand.

Charts of coastal bathymetry, sediment, and other information are available for purchase.

We are currently steaming out towards our survey area, the Louisville Seamount Chain, which is about 1500 km from Wellington.

The climate of the Manawatu-Wanganui region is a reflection of the generally disturbed westerly air flow with interspersed anticyclones, modified in specific places by the local topography.

Most of this climate zone is characterised by cool coastal breezes, and absence of shelter from the unsettled weather that moves over the sea from the south and southwest.
