    Eradication of Pacific rats (Rattus exulans) from Fanal Island, New Zealand. C. R. Veitch Department of Conservation, Private Bag 68-908, Newton, Auckland, New Zealand. Present address: 48 Manse Road. Papakura, New Zealand. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Fanal Island (73 ha) is the largest island in the Mokohinau Group, Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand. Pacific rats, or kiore, (Rattus exulans) reached these islands between about 1100 and 1800 A.D. Pacific rats were removed from all islands in this group, except Fanal Island, in 1990. An aerial application of Talon 7-20 (containing brodifacoum at 20 ppm) at a nominal rate of 10 kg/ha was made on Fanal Island on 4 August 1997 with the intention of eradicating the rats. Despite heavy rainfall immediately after the poisoning operation, and the fact that baits were not of optimum palatability, the rats were eradicated. Keywords Bitrex; brodifacoum; aerial baiting.

Photo: Chris Gaskin 2 Introduction This project (POP2017-06) builds on the findings of INT2016-04 (Gaskin 2017). A range of commercial fisheries target aggregations of surface shoaling fish and purse seining is commonly used to capture these fish schools. The dense fish schools create a phenomenon known as fish workups. These fish drive up prey items to the sea surface and observations suggest that this forms an important food source for a range of seabird species. There is currently poor knowledge of both the diet of surface-foraging seabirds and what prey items are being made available to seabirds from fish workups. This has limited our understanding of the mechanisms through which changes in the distribution and/or abundance of fish workups may be driving seabird population changes (population status and annual breeding success).

  • Evidence of Predation by Kiore Upon Lizards from The
    JOHN McCALLUM 83 82 Exmouth Road, Northcote, Auckland, 9, New Zealand EVIDENCE OF PREDATION BY KIORE UPON LIZARDS FROM THE MOKOHINAU ISLANDS Summary: The kiore or Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) has been suggested as the probable cause for reduced reptile, seabird and invertebrate faunas on many of the northern offshore islands of New Zealand, but the evidence is largely circumstantial and it is based on comparisons between islands with and without kiore. In 1977, kiore colonised a small island in the Mokohinau Group (Hauraki Gulf), where they caused a dramatic drop in lizard numbers. Their impact upon seabirds appeared minimal. Kiore were subsequently removed by poisoning; the altered lizard fauna remaining suggests that some species were more susceptible to rat predation than others. Keywords: Rattus exulans; Mokohinau Islands; rat invasion; reptile predation; seabird nesting; rat removal; altered fauna. Introduction Evidence for kiore damage to reptile and bird The kiore or Polynesian rat, Rattus exulans (Peale), is populations is largely circumstantial, and alternative widespread throughout the Pacific region, inhabiting explanations for impoverished faunas have been most of the island groups within 30° latitude of the presented. For example, Craig (in press) suggests equator, and present as far south as latitude 47° in depauperate faunas are at least partly the result of Fiordland and Stewart Island, New Zealand (Williams, habitat modification associated with human activity, 1973). Its presence on widely separated island groups and questions the assumption that lizard distribution has been attributed to transportation, deliberate or on offshore islands was uniform prior to the arrival of accidental, during Polynesian colonisation of the kiore.

    TANE 26, 1980 AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY FIELD CLUB SCIENTIFIC TRIP TO THE MOKOHINAU ISLANDS, MAY 1979 Introduction and Acknowledgements by A.E. Wright A.U.F.C. Vice-President 1975 - 1980 The Mokohinau Islands were chosen as the venue for Field Club's 1979 offshore island scientific trip primarily to allow a detailed study of one particular island, Fanal Island, which had received very little attention previously. A party of eleven left Auckland in the launch Westpoint early in the evening of 19 May, 1979 and arrived at the Mokohinau Islands approximately 3am next morning. At daybreak, seven people (Peter Bellingham, Elizabeth Brown, Greg Browne, David Greig, Peter Matthews, Wynne Spring-Rice and Anthony Wright) were put ashore on Fanal Island. The remainder of the party (Roger Harker, Gary Housley, John McCallum and David Riddell) were landed on Burgess Island soon after. On Fanal Island studies were carried out in the fields of archaeology, botany (bryophytes, lichens and vascular plants), entomology, geology, geomorphology and ornithology and the results in most of these fields follow. On and around Burgess Island and the adjacent Knights Group, studies were completed in the fields of benthic ecology, herpetology and ornithology. Both parties left the islands and returned to Auckland on 26 May, 1979. The Mokohinau Islands (latitude 35° 50'S, longitude 175° 10'E), the most isolated of the Hauraki Gulf Island Groups, lie 100 km north- north-east of Auckland City. The Group consists of Burgess Island, the adjacent Knights Group of smaller islands and rock stacks, and Fanal Island, lying some 5km to the south-east (Fig.
