Critical Habitat for Canterbury Freshwater Fish, Kōura/Kēkēwai and Kākahi
CRITICAL HABITAT FOR CANTERBURY FRESHWATER FISH, KŌURA/KĒKĒWAI AND KĀKAHI REPORT PREPARED FOR CANTERBURY REGIONAL COUNCIL BY RICHARD ALLIBONE WATERWAYS CONSULTING REPORT NUMBER: 55-2018 AND DUNCAN GRAY CANTERBURY REGIONAL COUNCIL DATE: DECEMBER 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aquatic habitat in Canterbury supports a range of native freshwater fish and the mega macroinvertebrates kōura/kēkēwai (crayfish) and kākahi (mussel). Loss of habitat, barriers to fish passage, water quality and water quantity issues present management challenges when we seek to protect this freshwater fauna while providing for human use. Water plans in Canterbury are intended to set rules for the use of water, the quality of water in aquatic systems and activities that occur within and adjacent to aquatic areas. To inform the planning and resource consent processes, information on the distribution of species and their critical habitat requirements can be used to provide for their protection. This report assesses the conservation status and distributions of indigenous freshwater fish, kēkēwai and kākahi in the Canterbury region. The report identifies the geographic distribution of these species and provides information on the critical habitat requirements of these species and/or populations.

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus. -

Ciencias Ecológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile. [email protected] RESUMEN La ictiofauna nativa de los sistemas límnicos de Chile se compone de 11 familias, 17 géneros y alrededor de 44 especies, incluyendo dos lampreas. De éstas, 81% son endémicas de la provincia biogeográfica chilena y 40% se encuentran clasificadas en peligro de extinción. Los grupos más representados corresponden a los órdenes Siluriformes (11 especies), Osmeriformes (9 especies) y Atheriniformes (7 especies). También están representados en Chile los ciclóstomos Petromyzontiformes (2 especies), y los teleósteos Characiformes (4 especies), Cyprinodontiformes (6 especies), Perciformes (4 especies) y Mugilifromes (1). Latitudinalmente, la mayor riqueza de especies ocurre en la zona centro-sur de la provincia Chilena, en tanto que los extremos norte y sur son de baja riqueza específica. Dado su origen, porcentaje de endemismo y retención de caracteres primitivos, este conjunto ictiofaunístico es de alto valor biogeográfico y de conservación. Existen sin embargo importantes vacíos de conocimiento sobre su sistemática, distribución y biología. PALABRAS CLAVES: Peces, sistemas dulceacuícolas, Chile.

Además, analizamos los posibles orígenes de esta ictiofauna, postulando que parte de la cuenca del río Valdivia ha funcionado como un sumidero, principalmente su parte alta, con aportes de fuentes tanto costero-Pacífi cas como del Este de Los Andes. Concluimos que el río San Pedro es de particular valor ictiofaunístico por su alta riqueza específi ca, endemismos y características biogeográfi cas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Fauna íctica, Río San Pedro, Endemismos, Conservación, Chile. ABSTRACT Based on three consecutive years of sampling and bibliographic revision, the composition, singularity and conservation status of the San Pedro River ichthyofauna is described. In addition, the potential origin of this Valdivia River ichthyofauna was analyzed and this basin is proposed to have worked like a sink, mainly the higher zone, having been colonized both from Coastal-Pacifi c as from Eastern Andes sources. It is concluded that this river has a particular conservation value due to its high species richness, endemism and biogeographic characteristics. -

Presence of the Red Jollytail, Brachygalaxias Bullocki (Regan
Correa-Araneda et al. Revista Chilena de Historia Natural 2014, 87:20 http://www.revchilhistnat.com/content/87/1/20 SHORT REPORT Open Access Presence of the red jollytail, Brachygalaxias bullocki (Regan, 1908) (Galaxiformes: Galaxiidae), in freshwater forested wetlands from Chile Francisco Correa-Araneda1,2,3*, Patricio De Los Ríos2,3 and Evelyn Habit4 Abstract Background: Brachygalaxias bullocki (Regan, 1908) is a small-sized freshwater fish species (41 to 46 mm) and endemic to Chile. Its biology has still various knowledge gaps, and its distribution range has been reduced in the last decade due to human intervention. Findings: In this article, for the first time, its presence in forested wetlands of Chile (38°52′ to 39°02′ S) is documented. The presence of this species in these ecosystems is restricted to wetlands with permanent water regime and depths ranging from 15.7 to 83.5 cm. Conclusions: The physicochemical habitat conditions show important seasonal variations, suggesting that B. bullocki is resistant to a wide range of temperatures, as well as different levels of dissolved oxygen and conductivity. Keywords: Brachygalaxias bullocki; Fish fauna; Forested wetlands; Conservation Findings Consequently, B. bullocki changes in the past 26 years from Brachygalaxias bullocki (Regan, 1908) is an endemic, small- a vulnerable status of conservation (Glade 1988; Campos sized (41 to 46 mm) fish species (Stokell 1954; Cifuentes et al. 1998) to almost endanger (MMA 2014). Our goal is et al. 2012). It is endemic to Chile and still several know- to document, for the first time, the presence of this species ledge gaps about its biology exist (Habit and Victoriano in forested wetlands of Chile, providing more evidence on 2012). -
Diversity of Aplochiton Fishes (Galaxiidea) and the Taxonomic Resurrection of A
Diversity of Aplochiton Fishes (Galaxiidea) and the Taxonomic Resurrection of A. marinus Dominique Alo` 1*., Cristia´n Correa2*., Carlos Arias2,3, Leyla Ca´rdenas4 1 Instituto de Conservacio´n, Biodiversidad and Territorio, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia, Chile, 2 Department of Biology and Redpath Museum, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, 3 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama´, Repu´blica de Panama´, 4 Instituto de Ciencias Ambientales y Evolutivas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia, Chile Abstract Aplochiton is a small genus of galaxiid fishes endemic to Patagonia and the Falkland Islands whose taxonomy is insufficiently resolved. Recent genetic analyses confirmed the existence of only two closely related species, Aplochiton taeniatus and Aplochiton zebra, while a third controversial species, Aplochiton marinus, remained lost to synonymy with A. taeniatus. Using an integrative taxonomy framework, we studied original samples and published sequences from a broad range in western Patagonia and the Falkland Islands, and generated robust species hypotheses based on single-locus (Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I; COI) species-delineation methods and known diagnostic morphological characters analyzed in a multivariate context. Results revealed three distinct evolutionary lineages that morphologically resemble, in important respects, existing nominal species descriptions. Interestingly, the lineage associated with A. marinus was unambiguously identifiable (100% accuracy) both from the genetic and morphological viewpoints. In contrast, the morphology of A. taeniatus and A. zebra overlapped substantially, mainly due to the high variability of A. taeniatus. Discriminant function analysis aided the identification of these species with 83.9% accuracy. Hence, for their unambiguous identification, genetic screening is needed. -
