capabilities and capacity of the wetland
system, which in turn may lead to higher ammonia levels in the discharge or contribute to
higher levels by the break down of plant protein. Monitoring results to date seem to indicate
ammonia levels were more elevated in the initial establishment stage of the raupo section.
To reduce the potential for higher levels of ammonia in the discharge the top section
(above water) of the plant will be cut and removed from the wetland section at the time of
the die back.

DESCRIPTION
Giant kokopu (Galaxias argenteus) are the largest member of the Galaxiidae
or whitebait family. They usually grow to 300-400mm but have known to
reach up to 580mm in length. Like all galaxiids, giant kokopu lack scales
and have a thick leathery skin covered with mucus. Their skin is dark olive
with a unique pattern of gold lines, spots, crescents and rings.
DISTRIBUTION, BREEDING AND FEEDING
The giant kokopu occur widely at low elevations
quakes.
New Plymouth District Council will
carry out more detailed investigations
(cone penetrometer tests) at five river-
mouth areas with residential buildings
to confirm or discount the liquefaction
hazards. These areas are at Waitara,
Onaero, Urenui, Tongaporutu and
Mohakatino.
In South Taranaki the river margins of
Patea, Whenuakura and Waitotara are
not subject to development pressure.
However STDC will add the GNS
Science report to its
native fish and invertebrates.
Ecological Values
Sustainability - Positive In good vegetative condition and large in area. Key ecological
processes still influence the site. Under appropriate management,
the site can remain resilient to existing or potential threats.
Representativeness - Medium Contains an ecosystem type listed as 'At Risk' (MF7-3 Tawa,
pukatea, podocarp forest). Over 70% of this type of forest has been
lost in Taranaki and remnant areas

but rather the cause was wet-weather flow in streams.
None of the nine beaches analysed for long-term trends showed a trend of either increasing
or decreasing water quality.
Frequent and timely reporting of the results of bacteriological water quality was undertaken
by use of the Taranaki Regional Council website (www.trc.govt.nz) as well as liaison with
territorial local authorities and the Health Protection
notified.

DESCRIPTION
The banded kokopu is a member of the Galaxiidae or whitebait family. They
usually grow to around 200mm long but have been known to reach up to
260mm. Like all galaxiids, the banded kokopu lacks scales and has a thick
leathery skin that is covered with mucus. Their dark brownish-olive skin can
be distinguished from the other galaxiid species by thin, pale, vertical bands
along the sides and over the back of the fish.
