Hard at work

24 August 2012

I have been really this year working as an ecologist doing some really exciting freshwater stream ecology, intertidal and marine work.


Redfin bully


The largest banded kokopu I have ever caught


A banded kokopu swimming camoflaged in a shallow creek


Triple fin


Smelt


Snapping shrimp


Shortfin eel


The famous shellbank


Setting some enormous fyke nets in the mud flats



Waste deep in the mudflats.......so much fun


Another lot of sediment samples


One of our fyke nets full of eels


A massive 1 metre long fin eel. We found one over 1.1m and 38cm around its head which is the biggest I have ever seen and could be about 60 years old
