New Zealand Freshwater Fish

11004-04502 Canterbury galaxias (Galaxias vulgaris) are the most common of our endemic, non-migratory galaxiid species. Canterbury galaxias can be found in streams and rivers draining the eastern side of the Southern Alps, from the Clarence River in the North, to Trotters Gorge near Moeraki in the South. They are now absent from the main riverbeds because of trout, but can still be found in the clear, swift side-braids and tributaries. Maerewhenua River *
