Keep Rotorua lakes free of pest fish
Invasive species are a pest because they reduce water quality and can compete with native species and trout.
You can help by reporting sightings or photographing caught specimens of koi carp (3-70 cm) or catfish (3-40 cm).
Other fish of concern are rudd and gambusia.
Check, Clean, Dry
Clean all gear when moving between waterways to prevent the spread of didymo and other freshwater pests.
