DOC field ranger Daniel Jack uses an electric fishing machine to survey an Otago stream for galaxiids. Tiny native fish can thrive only in the absence of trout and salmon, and as these are capable of leaping up high waterfalls, that leaves only inaccessible reaches of river catchments or places where manmade obstructions such as weirs have halted the predators’ progress.
