Rod Morris > 11004-10112 Perch (Perca fluviatilis) were introduced to New Zealand in the late 1860s and early 1870s from Europe and are now widespread. Perch are voracious predators and are quite easy to catch, making them popular when introducing children to fishing.
Rod Morris > 11004-00204  Lamprey (Geotria australis) bright silvery and blue macrophthalmia
Rod Morris > 11004-04401 Koaro (Galaxias brevipinnis) characteristic milky-coloured fish from Lake Ohau
Rod Morris > 11004-11110 Redfin bully (Gobiomorphus huttoni) male in spring. Broad Bay, Otago Peninsula.
Rod Morris > 11004-00101 Lamprey (Geotria australis) male with enlarged sucking disk and baggy pouch below head
Rod Morris > 11004-39001 Mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis) male (foreground), and female. Gambusia were released in New Zealand in the 1930s to control mosquitoes, but as with a number of other countries they soon became pests competing with our native fish. Today they are classed as an ‘unwanted organism’ under the Biosecurity Act 1993, and it is unlawful to possess or release this fish. Our own native fish do better at controlling mosquitoes.
Rod Morris > 11004-11501 Bluegill bully (Gobiomorphus hubbsi)
Rod Morris > DSC_2672 Feral goldfish (Carassius auratus) were first introduced to New Zealand in the 1860's, they are now widespread and well established. Wild populations lack the larger fins, protruding eyes and colouration of aquarium specimens, reverting to an olive-bronze to deep gold colour. Goldfish were known to Maori as morihana – a transliteration of the name 'Morrison' after the man who introduced goldfish into the Taupo area. For some time morihana were a food for Rotorua Maori.
Rod Morris > 11004-04521 Canterbury galaxias (Galaxias vulgaris) developing egg mass
Rod Morris > DSC_0695 Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were first introduced to NZ in the late 1960's for the purposes of aquatic weed control. Now aquaculturists are looking into their potential to be farmed as food fish for the table.
Rod Morris > DSC_4991 Black flounder (Rhombosolea retiaria) are most common in estuaries, harbours and lower levels of rivers, and may venture many kilometres upstream.
Rod Morris > DSC_0612 Torrentfish (Cheimarrichthys fosteri) showing disruptive patterning from above. Waianakarua River.
Rod Morris > 11004-39207 Sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna) occurs in large numbers in geothermally heated swamps around the southern shore of Lake Taupo. Native to southern North America, these aquarium fish have been in New Zealand since the 1960s.
Rod Morris > 11004-11902  Upland bully (Gobiomorphus breviceps)
Rod Morris > DSC_1734 Spotted eel (Anguilla reinhardtii)
