Overall Objective:
To monitor the recruitment of juvenile eels.
Specific Objectives:
1. To contribute to a time series of data to monitor the relative recruitment of shortfin and longfin eels by co-ordinating to specific standards the collection of data on abundance, timing of migration, and species composition of elver runs at six key locations: Wairua Falls, Karapiro, Matahina, Patea, Roxburgh or Waitaki, and Arnold for the elver migrations in 2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25.
2. To co-ordinate and analyse data from all secondary dam sites where catch and transfer of eels is undertaken.
3. To describe the length distribution of longfin and shortfin elvers during the 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25 migration seasons at the key locations and to collect otoliths from both species at these sites to determine age composition of elvers present each season.
4. To age otoliths from key sites for all years listed in Specific Objective 3.
5. To investigate the correlation between elver movement and environmental factors such as water temperature and flow.
6. Broader outcomes.
