Ianab Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 http://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/news/2291999/Rare-native-fish-teeming-stream/ If you know New PLymouth the Houtoki is a is a small stream that flows under the middle of town and into the sea near the Museum. It seems it has a large popuation of Kokopu, both short jawed and giant. The council is redeveloping the stream area near the main street, and is putting in a fish ladder, so that should help maintain the population. I think it's pretty neat that these fish are still living in basiclaly an urban enviroment. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Is that the small stream that runs along side Centre City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Is that the small stream that runs along side Centre City? Sure is. Not what you would normally pick as a haven for rare native fish is it? But as you get upstream further it's pretty much shaded by trees all the way up through the city. Thats where the fish will be hanging out. Also has no trout which is probably a big thing as well. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
