Didymo in the Hurunui River
Against all the efforts by anglers and other recreational users to prevent spread of Didymo to North Canterbury waterways this invasive alga infested upper reaches of the Hurunui River. A concerned angler noticed what reminded him of Didymo pustules in the pool close to the Jolly Brook confluence. The sample was confirmed as Didymo by NIWA staff.
We urge anglers, hunters and all the other river users to rigorously comply with gear cleaning and disinfection.
