  • Freshwater Fish in the Falklands
    Freshwater fish in the Falklands Conservation of native zebra trout Echo Goodwin, North Arm School A report by Katherine Ross to the Falkland Islands Government and Falklands Conservation, 2009. Summary • Only two species of freshwater fish, Zebra trout (Aplochiton zebra) and Falklands minnows (Galaxias maculatus) are native to the Falklands. • Brown trout (Salmo trutta) were introduced to the Falklands in the 1940’s and 1950’s. They can spend part of their life cycle at sea which has allowed them to spread across the islands causing a catastrophic decline in the distribution of zebra trout. The ways by which brown trout remove zebra trout probably include predation on juvenile fish and competition for food. • Zebra trout are long lived and therefore adult populations may persist for many years where juveniles no longer survive. Such populations can become extinct suddenly. • Freshwater fish of the Falklands were last surveyed in 1999. • This project investigated the distribution of freshwater fish in West and East Falkland by electrofishing, netting and visual surveys and identified conservation priorities for zebra trout. • Zebra trout populations were found in Lafonia, the south of West Falkland and Port Howard. Brown trout were found across much of Lafonia where their range appears to have expanded since 1999. • Once brown trout have invaded a catchment they are very difficult to remove. Controlling the spread of brown trout is therefore an urgent priority if zebra trout are to be conserved. • Freshwater habitats where zebra trout were found were generally in good condition but in some areas perched culverts may prevent juvenile zebra trout from returning to freshwaters (we think larval zebra trout spend their first few months at sea).

It followed the previous two censuses of 2000/01 and 1995/96 and thus a 10-year overview is possible for the first time. The methodologies have also been improved, enabling more accurate and comparable censuses in he future, especially with respect to the area measurement of the large breeding colonies. • King penguins have a healthy population, though increases of the last two decades may now be stabilising at an annual productivity of around 300 chicks.
