Stella Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I saw an interesting article I would like to get hold of, it is rather old.... All I know is this (from a bibliography) Davidson, M.M.: The New Zealand mudfish (Neochanna apoda). The New Zealand Aquarium Bulletin: 12:33 1951 Has anyone heard of this bulletin? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 is it on the captive management of mudfish if so it is online in pdf format at http://www.doc.govt.nz/upload/documents ... rds205.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks but that is completely different in all respects.... sorry. Great article though. I keep meaning to get my printed version ring-bound. I wonder how the National Library works? Apparently they have copies of everything.... can you get photocopies of articles? Now that could be very useful.... Oooh they do have the bulletin! It was produced by the NZ Aquarium Society... Hang on: (society/publication/years) NZ Aquarium Society, NZ Aquarium Bulletin, 1938-1953 NZ Federation of Aquarium Societies, NZ Aquatic World, 1953-1973 NZ Federation of Aquarium Societies Inc, NZ Aquatic World, 1973-1996 NZ Federation of Aquarium Societies Inc, NZ Aquarium World, 1996-present Well well well, the things you learn! Am currently writing the section in my book on mudfish. It started well but is now driving me mad. It was good doing proper creative writing again, as opposed to just editing past writing, and the words are good..... just I am starting to get bogged down in wanting to include every scrap of information known to man and not quite knowing where to stop or how to structure it....

Caryl Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Sorry Stella. My archives start around 1955 I only have two NZ Aquarium Bulletins (and not whole ones either) May 1945 and June 1945. The May 1945 front page article is on kokopu, Galaxius fasciatus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Caryl, Thanks for looking! That banded kokopu article sounds interesting. What is it called and who by? If I asked REALLY nicely could you send me a photocopy? :bounce: Is there any sort of searchable catalogue to find out if there are other native fish articles? Thanks heaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Stella A couple of years ago I purchased off trade me a box of NZ Aquarium magazines some very old.

Caryl Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have the FNZAS archives here as I am their archivist - it is not a personal collection I also have over 200 aquatic books for reference. Some mine, some the FNZAS's. Plus hundreds of fish magazines taking over. I have 3 bookcases just for fish books :roll: Will copy the article for you Stella. It is basic and short :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
