Posting on behalf of a friend of a friend, caught in lake Dunstan today near Pisa moorings… Not entirely sure of species looks like a grass carp to me?
Believe he has reported it…
Are they known from lake Dunstan?
600m altitude, western fiordland
Killed by an eel (I suspect) from outside a mesh Gee-minnow trap).
Relatively fast moving eel cruising through the Dunedin Botanical Gardens.
Caught in small tidal creek close to beach
In small pool of Orokonui Stream
Staying very still in a bush reserve estuary stream.
