Mudfish Experience @ Middelmost Mudfish Project, Oxford

May 30, 2017 Posted by Kiwi Conservation Club

Sophie from Working Waters Trust lead KCC North Canterbury on a great kōwaro (mudfish) experience in May 2017. Here we are emptying a trap and discovering the last of the 39 (!!) native fish we found in the short time we were there.

Thank you Kevin Ackerley for sharing this great footage!

Here are some other cool photos from the trip:
