These guides are designed for rapid identification of freshwater flora and fauna, usually to the generic level, for use in biomonitoring. They have been developed with funding assistance from the Biodiversity of New Zealand Aquatic Environments programme and the Terrestrial and Freshwater Biodiversity Information System (TFBIS) programme, administered by the Department of Conservation.
