  • The Ecology of Whataroa Virus, an Alphavirus, in South Westland, New Zealand by J
    J. Hyg., Camb. (1973), 71, 701 701 Printed in Great Britain The ecology of Whataroa virus, an alphavirus, in South Westland, New Zealand BY J. A. R. MILES Department of Microbiology, Medical School, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand (Received 6 March 1973) SUMMARY The findings of a survey on the ecology of an alphavirus over the years 1964-9 are reviewed. Evidence is presented to show that wild birds constitute a vertebrate reservoir of the virus and that mosquitoes, primarily Culiseta tonnoiri and Gulex pervigilans, which are both endemic New Zealand species, are responsible for summer transmission. Serological evidence of infection was obtained in all years and evidence is presented to indicate that the virus is enzootic rather than being reintroduced each spring. The number of birds with antibody increased before mosquitoes became active in the spring and possible explanations of this are discussed. The mean temperature in the hottest month in the study area is substantially below that in other areas with enzootic mosquito-borne viruses and experimental studies showed that Whataroa virus was able to replicate more rapidly in mos- quitoes at low temperatures than any arboviruses previously studied. The main natural focus of infection appeared to be in a modified habitat and the introduced song thrush (Turdus philomelos) to be the main vertebrate reservoir host. INTRODUCTION In New Zealand a number of rural summer epidemics of influenza-like disease suggestive of an arbovirus aetiology have occurred. Because of this a serological survey covering a variety of climatic and biological zones throughout the country was initiated in 1959-60.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  Construct a New Headpond Immediately Upstream of the Mckays Creek Power Station
    KANIERE VALLEY HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER SCHEME – KANIERE HEPS AND MCKAYS HEPS ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS NOVEMBER 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Construct a new headpond immediately upstream of the McKays Creek Power Station. Increase the existing McKays Creek Power Station capacity from This Assessment of Environmental Effects (‘AEE’) is submitted in support 6m3/s to a peak of 9m3/s (including the continued 1m3/s take from of TrustPower Limited‘s (‘TPL’) proposal to continue to operate and Blue Bottle Creek). maintain (with some process optimisation) the existing Hydro Electric Increase discharge to the Kaniere River from McKays Creek Power Power Scheme (‘HEPS’ or ‘scheme’) at Kaniere Forks and McKays Creek. Station from 6m3/s to 9m3/s. Re-consenting is necessary as the current authorisations for both the Kaniere Forks Power Scheme (‘Kaniere HEPS’) and the McKays Creek Kaniere HEPS enhancements Power Scheme (‘McKays HEPS’) expire on 26 May 2011. Increase water take from Lake Kaniere to the Kaniere race from 3 3 1m /s to a maximum of 8m /s. In addition to the re-consenting of the existing scheme (including the Upgrade existing race from Lake Kaniere to Ward Road to take 8m3/s process optimisations), TPL also proposes to construct enhancements to flow, largely through the construction of a new race. The majority of both the Kaniere and McKays HEPS. The enhancements are proposed on the new race will follow an alignment that utilises the existing the basis that the additional generation will provide for the more efficient transmission line route. The new race will also include two storage utilisation of infrastructure and investment of the existing HEPS, and areas.

  • Westland Community of Learning Te Poutini Hapori O Te Akoranga
    Westland Community of Learning Te Poutini hapori o te akoranga “He kapiti hono, he tãtai hono That which is joined together becomes an unbroken line.” 1 Photo by Kate Veale Westland Community of Learning Te Poutini hapori o te akoranga Our background The Westland Community of Learning is a group of 9 schools consisting of: Haast School, Fox Glacier School, Franz Josef Glacier School, Whataroa School, Ross School, Kokatahi- Kowhitirangi School, Kaniere School, St. Mary’s School, and Westland High School. Most Westland schools are small, rural schools isolated by distance, or located near the small urban centre of Hokitika. These schools include 5 full primary, 3 contributing, and one high school, years 7 to 13. The combined roll of these schools is 862 students, consisting of 429 girls, 433 boys, 219 Maori, 5 Pacifica (2014 data) and 55 FTTE staff. The schools are considered ‘neighbours’ yet cover a distance of approximately 300km from Kokatahi- Kowhitirangi School, inland to Hokitika and Haast School, the furthermost school in South Westland. Each school services their own small community, with its unique identities and characteristics and some commonalities across them. Our school communities are very passionate about their individual identities and feel this is a strength within the cluster, and an aspect to be retained. Schools in the cluster have participated in the past on shared projects such as improving literacy achievement through the Wolf Fisher Project. This was West Coast wide and led to further collaboration which was fantastic for teachers’ development. Schools have also gathered together for various training opportunities on the coast, and various schools have worked together on shared projects such as developing e-Learning strategies.

  • Sports Fish Spawning Surveys 2017-2018 Results of Sports Fish Spawning Surveys, June 2017-June 2018 in the West Coast Fish & Game Region
    Sports Fish Spawning Surveys 2017-2018 Results of sports fish spawning surveys, June 2017-June 2018 in the West Coast Fish & Game Region Lee Crosswell, Fish & Game Officer, June 2018 Salmon Post Spawn Carcasses in Tommy Creek, Whataroa, June 2018. Summary Fish & Game undertake sports fish spawning surveys as a tool to monitor adult sports fish populations and provide information for management purposes. Quinnat salmon were introduced to the West Coast in the early 1900’s and have been present in the South Westland lakes since the 1930’s. During this time, various authorities have intermittently monitored salmon spawning. The long-term monitoring of ‘Peak’ spawning numbers in spawning grounds for Lakes Mapourika and Paringa were undertaken in May 2018, 99 live salmon were observed during the peak in MacDonalds Creek (L. Mapourika) and 154 were observed live during the peak in Windbag Stream (L. Paringa). The long-term average for MacDonalds Creek is 187 fish making the 2018 return below average. The long-term average for Windbag Stream is 176 fish, making the 2018 count below average. Salmon and trout spawning surveys were undertaken intermittently in several other known spawning creeks during the 2017 and 2018 spawning seasons including tributaries of Lake Kaniere, Hokitika River, Taramakau River, Wanganui River and Whataroa River for the purpose of monitoring recent liberations of quinnat salmon and trout. Staff recommendations are; Retain current bag limits and open season duration for salmon and rainbow trout. Increase the minimum salmon size limit in Lakes Ellery, Mapourika, Moeraki and Paringa from 250mm to 350mm, and include this regulation to Lake Ianthe.
