This information was compiled in March 2024, by BoPRC Environmental Scientist, E Fox. Please note that fish distributions are subject to change as our knowledge of species distributions grows over time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Multiple fish distribution models are available (Leathwick et al. 2008, Crow et al. 2014, White et al. 2022) to achieve a combined map, each model was filtered to areas of elevated predicted probability of capture/occurrence. The thresholds applied were specific to each species and model. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For lamprey the following thresholds were applied: &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Leathwick et al. 2008 &amp;gt; 0.1&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Crow et al. 2014 &amp;gt; 0.5&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For information about the lifecycle and habitat requirements of Shortjaw kōkopu and Lamprey, please see Habitat requirements of native freshwater fish in Aotearoa New Zealand &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;(&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/freshwater-fish" target="_blank" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/freshwater-fish/&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P STYLE="margin:1 1 1 20;"&gt;&lt;SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"&gt;Crow, S., Booker, D., Sykes J., Unwin, M.
