Commentary: Trends and Tensions in Freshwater and Fisheries Management in Central Otago, New Zealand
Recent resource management planning processes and decisions in Central Otago, New Zealand, illustrate changes in policy direction for freshwater management. These processes and decisions also highlight interactions between, and values associated with, indigenous and introduced sports fish.

Fishing‐Induced Regulation of Diadromous Fish Subsidies in Stream Communities
ABSTRACT Seasonal migrations of diadromous fish transport marine‐derived nutrients into freshwater ecosystems, enriching communities and restructuring food‐web dynamics. By diminishing these migrations, fishing pressure could disrupt cross‐ecosystem connectivity, thereby altering predator–prey interactions and community size structure.

ABSTRACT Aim Invasive species can affect native species detrimentally, causing localised population declines, range contractions and extinctions. Given the costs and difficulties of controlling invasive species, sound knowledge of the potential benefits to native species is essential.

Diversity and Distribution of Amphibians and Freshwater Fishes on Australian Islands
ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 3% of the Earth's surface, yet support nearly 10% of all known animal species, majorly represented by freshwater fishes and amphibians, both of which are highly threatened groups. Geographically isolated freshwater species, such as those inhabiting islands, are at high risk. Australia, with nearly 9300

ABSTRACT Understanding the interactive effects of non‐native species and alterations to flow regimes is important to combat threats to freshwater communities. Low‐flow conditions may either exacerbate or offset influences of non‐natives but the mechanisms determining the direction are poorly understood.

ABSTRACT Intermittent streams dominate global river networks and are becoming increasingly common due to global change. Understanding the mechanisms by which freshwater biota respond to flow recession, drying, and intermittence is therefore important to our ability to support biodiversity as ecosystems adapt to ongoing stressors.

Observations on fishes of the family Galaxiidae: Part 2.
In Part 1 of these Observations (Scott, 1936), devoted to a taxo- nomic survey of the family, with descriptions of new species, the hope was expressed that in succeeding parts it would be found possible to consider the Tasmanian Galaxiidae described prior to 1936.

Optimizing eDNA Replication for Standardized Application in Lotic Systems in Aotearoa, New Zealand
The objective of this study was to optimize eDNA sample replication for the consistent characterization of freshwater fish and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in flowing New Zealand waters, and ultimately, to inform the development of robust national monitoring standards. Results indicated that six replicates were needed to consistently detect 89.
