Dietary protein requirements of the New Zealand Black-footed Abalone (Haliotis iris, Martyn 1784)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2010)The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the nutritional aspects of dietary protein for the New Zealand black-footed abalone (Haliotis iris) as an aquaculture species, and thus provide an affordable option for formulated feeds ... -
Effect of Nutrients and Salinity on Growth of Temperate Mangroves (Avicennia marina var australasica) in Northern New Zealand
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Estuarine environmental conditions in New Zealand have changed greatly due to human catchment activity (e.g., deforestation, intensive agricultural activity, and urbanisation). These factors have led to additional accretion ... -
Metabolomic Applications in Marine Mollusc Development and Aquaculture
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)Metabolomics is a rapidly emerging discipline within functional genomics to better understand biochemical phenotypes across a range of biological systems. The approach has many demonstrated applications in aquatic biology, ... -
Nutrition and Reproductive Condition of Wild and Cultured New Zealand Scallops (Pecten novaezelandiae)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)The New Zealand native scallop, Pecten novaezelandiae, is a species with a high economic value as a wild catch and has good potential for cultivation. As a mean to enhance the future of this growing shellfish industry, ... -
Regional spread of marine non-indigenous species, a pathway modelling approach in New Zealand
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)The devastating ecological and socio-economic impacts of non-indigenous species (NIS) have been documented worldwide, highlighting the need for effective management. In contrast to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, ... -
Trace Metal Dynamics in Mangrove Sediments Within Temperate Estuaries
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Mangrove sediments have a high capacity to retain organic matter because of the low mineralization processes induced by the waterlogged conditions around them. The accumulation of organic matter and deposition of fine ...
