Understanding the migratory behaviour of fishes is critical to the conservation and
management of fish assemblages in coastal rivers. We analysed the otolith chemical …

Patterns of dispersal in riverine populations of Australian smelt (Retropinna semoni) were
examined using otolith chemistry (Mg: Ca, Mn: Ca, Sr: Ca, Ba: Ca) and genetic markers …

For riverine fishes threatened by fragmentation and flow modification, effective management
requires an understanding of when and where key life history processes (spawning …

Partial migration affects the ecology and evolution of animal populations, and is an important
consideration for the management of harvested species, yet the phenomenon is …

Stable oxygen and carbon isotopic analyses were made for water at 24 sites, mainly from
the Waikato watershed (North Island, New Zealand), and for carbonate from fish sagittal …

Diadromy is an important characteristic of the lifecycle of many Australian coastal fishes, but
many of these species remain poorly studied. The migratory patterns of five riverine fish …

The smelt genus Retropinna nominally includes three small (< 150 mm) freshwater fish
species endemic to south-eastern Australia and New Zealand. For the two Australian …

Southern smelts (R etropinna spp.) in coastal rivers of A ustralia are facultatively
diadromous, with populations potentially containing individuals with diadromous or wholly …

Retropinna retropinna occurred in two forms in Lake Waahi, North Island, New Zealand. One
form was characterized by high mean gill raker counts (c. 28) and low mean vertebral counts …

The common smelt is one of the most widespread indigenous freshwater fishes in New
Zealand. One other member of the family Retropinnidae, Stokellia anisodon (Stokell), is …
