- From June 1983 to July 1984, gill nets were set at intervals of approximately one month in the Porirua and Pauatahanui Inlets, Wellington. During this period, 24 species of fish were caught, bringing the total number of species known from the two inlets to 43. The inlets are a nursery area for juvenile Callorhynchus milii, Mustelus lenticulatus, Rhombosolea plebeia, and Arripis trutta.
