New Zealand’s native fish are doing their best to climb up ramps in a NIWA laboratory so scientists can learn how to better help them navigate our tricky waterways.
Hamilton-based hydroecologist Dr Eleanor Gee and her team have rigged up six ramps – each at different angles and sporting two different surface types – one smooth, the other textured – to test how adept the fish are at making their way to the top. The idea is to simulate their upstream migration.

New Zealandâs native fish are doing their best to climb up ramps in a NIWA laboratory so scientists can learn how to better help them navigate our tricky waterways.
Hamilton-based hydroecologist Dr Eleanor Gee and her team have rigged up six ramps â each at different angles and sporting two different surface types â one smooth, the other textured ÂÂâ to test how adept the fish are at making their way to the top. The idea is to simulate their upstream migration.
Sheâs using young fish of the whitebait species kÅaro and banded kÅkopu at the moment and plans to move on to redfin bullies. âThese species are known to be climbers and all migrate as part of their lifecycle.â
