Abstract Building trust in science and evidence-based decision-making depends heavily on the credibility of studies their findings. Researchers employ many different study designs that vary risk bias to evaluate true effect interventions or impacts. Here, we empirically quantify, a large scale, prevalence magnitude estimates. Randomised controlled observational with pre-intervention sampling were used by just 23% intervention biodiversity conservation, 36% social science. We demonstrate,...

The Nidovirales comprise a genetically diverse group of positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus families that infect range invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Recent metagenomic studies have identified nido-like sequences, particularly those related to the Coronaviridae, in aquatic hosts including fish, amphibians, reptiles. We sought identify additional members Coronaviridae both bony jawless fish through combination total sequencing (meta-transcriptomics) data mining published from this...
Abstract Four macroalgal, four macroinvertebrate and eight fish species were surveyed at sites (three inside, five outside the proposed reserve) over three years before establishment of Taputeranga Marine Reserve (MR) on Cook Strait (Wellington, New Zealand). This baseline data set was used to estimate temporal spatial variability in size abundance these taxa, will be quantify taxon‐specific changes once MR is established. Statistically significant differences and/or observed for many taxa...

As the field of marine reserve (MR) research matures, individual studies and meta-analyses are now able to answer some fundamental questions initially posed regarding timelines trajectories for biological change (often termed recovery), effect size, age, location, responses protection as a function life-history characteristics. Kapiti MR is New Zealand's fourth oldest MR, established in 1992, falls into category where all sites not equal terms habitat We surveyed temperate reef fishes at...
Kapiti Marine Reserve (KMR) was established in May 1992 following a single baseline biological survey. We surveyed macroalgal, macroinvertebrate and fish species for abundance and/or size at two sites inside outside KMR then conducted reservation status (inside vs KMR) temporal (1992 1999–2000) tests to quantify responses after 8 years of protection. Reservation has had significant effect on or four (banded wrasse, blue cod, butterfish, moki), but not heavily fished macroinvertebrates (two...
From 2011, lamprey (Geotria australis) populations in Southland, New Zealand have been affected by reddening along the length of body and increased mortalities, termed syndrome (LRS). Molecular testing, bacteriology, histopathology epidemiology were used to determine if an infectious agent was present increase understanding this syndrome. An atypical Aeromonas salmonicida detected from 2011. This organism has not previously reported Zealand. Investigative molecular testing indicated...
An investigation was conducted to identify the cause of mortalities in freshwater reared Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Mortalities occurred juvenile salmon, at a rearing facility South Island New Zealand. The affected fish were from pen inside with no surrounding pens or other year classes affected.Clinically presented skin lesions. majority lesions unruptured, boil-like, raised circular masses up 4 cm diameter, particularly on dorsolateral aspects and flank. A number large...
Kaimoana (shellfish, seafood) is an important food source and a significant social cultural component of many New Zealand communities, especially the indigenous Māori. Over past decade decline has been detected in shellfish health increase mortality events around Zealand. Intracellular bacteria termed Rickettsia -like organisms (RLOs) have observed bivalve molluscs during events. Affected bivalves include cockles Austrovenus stutchburyi , ringed dosinia Dosinia anus green-lipped mussels...
Surveillance for biosecurity hazards is being conducted by the New Zealand Competent Authority, Ministry Primary Industries (MPI) to support Zealand's system. evaluation should be an integral part of surveillance life cycle, as it provides a means identify and correct problems sustain enhance existing strengths The Framework (SurF) presented here was developed provide generic framework within which MPI portfolio, all its components, can consistently assessed. SurF innovative, cross-sectoral...
Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly made increasingly possible by a variety genomic approaches, yet, many species the bottleneck understanding this, remains access appropriate samples data. Lack sample availability has also limited our how pathogens immune hosts change over time. Archival materials may provide way explore...
In November 2013 the Animal Health Laboratory, Ministry for Primary Industries, New Zealand, received a report of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) presenting reddish-white granular lesions across its body. Gross pathological examination revealed cyst-like on distal portion scales and proximal part fins. Giemsa-stained wet preparations these presumptively identified spores as Myxobolus sp. DNA sequencing 18S rRNA gene further episquamalis. This is first episquamalis infecting M. cephalus from Zealand.
Abstract This paper examines the feasibility of opening a fishery in New Zealand to manage invasive Asian paddle crab Charybdis japonica . C. is known for its predatory nature and high reproductive capacity, posing threat native species benthic ecosystems The current management approach surveillance research, has been ineffective halting continuous spread around upper North Island. We assess commercial exploitation by assessing fishing costs, stock availability, consumer interest. find...
Abstract A wild and a cultured greenshell mussel (Perna canaliculus) population were compared for biochemical genetic variation at seven polymorphic four monomorphic allozyme loci. Significant heterozygote deficiencies observed all loci (La—1, La—2, Lap, Lgg—1, Lgg— 2, Pgi, Pgm) both populations (except the Pgi locus of population). Genotypic disequilibrium was calculated populations: genotypic frequencies significantly non‐random three pairs among mussels, different mussels. All six which...
