Managing Threats to Freshwater Taonga Invertebrates

Tranche1: Project 3.5

Management of non-native fish such as catfish may be the answer to safeguarding freshwater taonga (treasured) species in our waterways, researchers have found.

This project focused on protecting the taonga species kākahi (freshwater mussels) and kōura (crayfish) from pest fish and invasive macrophytes, through a combination of contemporary science and mātauranga (Māori knowledge).
