To inform their forthcoming Strategic Plan, Te Wai Māori Trust commissioned a review of our current understanding of freshwater taonga species (biology, ecology, management, monitoring and research needs) including tuna, piharau/kanakana, kōura/kēwai, whitebait, porohe, kanae, pātiki mohoao, and kākahi/kāeo. This is the first time such a stocktake has been undertaken since the publication of Dr Bob McDowall's New Zealand Freshwater Fishes – a guide and natural history in 1978.
