Autopsy report for seabirds killed and returned from New Zeland fisheries 1 January 1998 to 30 September - Birds returned by Ministry of Fisheries observers to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

Available Online

Robertson, C.J.R.

There were 195 specimens returned from 19 separate fishing trips with onboard observers, between 1 January and 30 September 1998, where birds were killed as a bycatch to various forms of fishing practice. Four of these trips contributed 82% of the birds returned. These autopsies were undertaken for the Department of Conservation as CSL Contract 98/3091. All costs of labelling and packaging, importation under the Biosecurity Act, transportation from Port of Landing to Wellington by refrigerated truck, cold storage, and autopsy facilities were met by the Conservation Services Levy. In 1998 these birds were received from trawlers, domestic tuna longliners, joint venture tuna longliners, and domestic bottom longliners (Tables 1-4). The number of specimens returned for autopsy does not in any way indicate probable catch rates for differing classes of vessel or fishing method, as the observer coverage was not equally distributed throughout the fishing effort. Specific catch locations for the specimens returned are not provided here on the grounds of commercial sensitivity as required by the Ministry of Fisheries and some parts of the fishing industry. However, the maps (Figures 1-5) provide the general location of catches and species returned for the period covered by this report. The distribution shown does not imply any relationship with fishing effort or method as indicated above.

Conservation of kakerori (Pomarea dimidiata) : report on a visit to Rarotonga, August/September 1999 / Hugh A.

Available Online

Robertson, Hugh Alexander

Since 1987, I have assisted the Cook Islands Conservation/Environment Service and, more recently, the Takitumu Conservation Area Project and the Avifauna Conservation Programme of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to plan and implement a recovery programme for the kakerori, a critically endangered forest bird endemic to Rarotonga. In 1989, the kakerori was one of the 10 rarest birds in the world, and classified as 'critically endangered' (Collar et al. 1994) with a population of just 29 birds. I calculated that there was a 50% chance of kakerori becoming extinct by 1998 unless nest predation by rats was significantly reduced. During each breeding season since 1989, rats have been poisoned in the 155 ha of forest occupied by kakerori (Robertson et al. 1998) and the effectiveness of this work has been measured by- recording breeding productivity (Saul et al. 1998), and by undertaking an annual census the following spring (Robertson 1998, 1999).
