Kōkopu taiwhara

View in English
Pair of hands holding a banded kōkopu (Galaxias fasciatus).

Noho ai ngā kōkopu taiwhara (Galaxias fasciatus) i ngā puna e tino maru ana i ngā tauwharenga tahatika, i ngā poro rākau me ngā toka. Kitea ai ngā momo ika nei i ngā hōpua, i ngā tahatika rānei kua horo i raro i te wai. Pēnei i te kōkopu nui, ka karangahia tēnei e ētahi he taraute māori, he taraute taketake rānei.

E tino rata ana ngā ika nei ki te wai mahana, arā, kia 12-18°C te paemahana, ā, ka rongo rātou i ngā pānga o ngā parahanga, pēnei i te haukini e kaha kitea ana i ngā para kararehe pāmu, me ngā wai para kāore i tika te whakatikahia.

Whakaputa hua ai ngā kōkopu taiwhara i runga i ngā rau, i ngā otaota kei runga ake i ngā kōawa i te paringa o te wai. Ka rewa ngā torongū kua paopao ki te moana, ka tupu mai i reira i te hōtoke, kātahi ka hoki mai hei inanga i te kōanga. Heoi anō, ka noho pūroto ētahi rāngai, ki reira whakatutuki ai i te huringa ā-oranga, e kīia ana tēnei ko te noho pūroto. He maha ngā rāngai kōkopu taiwhara noho pūroto puta noa i te motu.
