LERNZ / DoC workshop on invasive fish management series Spread the Word to Stop the Spread - Helen McCaughan (Department of Conservation, Christchurch) This session covered recent studies that have investigated ecological impacts of introduced fish, including ecological and water quality changes associated with koi carp. The human dimension was explored to understand perspectives of coarse fish anglers and behavioural drivers around pest fish spread. A joint LERNZ/Department of Conservation 1-day workshop on invasive fish management was held at the University of Waikato to bring together a range of organisations involved in invasive fish management and research. It covered organisational roles in management and incursion response, recent research findings on the efficacy of different control methods as well as ecological changes associated with introduced fish species, and some human dimensions associated with coarse fish management and spread. This talk was part of Session 3: Ecological and Social Outcomes.
