- Summary
- Many of New Zealand’s most widespread fish species (e.g. whitebait and eels) undertake significant migrations as part of their life-cycle. However, instream infrastructure, such as culverts, weirs and dams, can delay or prevent fish movements and stop them from accessing critical habitats.
