Port of Nelson: Baseline survey for non-indenous marine species. Inglis, G. J., Gust, N., Fitridge, I., Floerl, O., Hayden, B. J., & Fenwick, G. D. Technical Report NIWA, Christchurch, March, 2006. ![Port of Nelson: Baseline survey for non-indenous marine species [pdf]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/pdf.svg "pdf")
Paper abstract bibtex Executive Summary This report describes the results of a January 2002 survey to provide a baseline inventory of native, non indigenous and cryptogenic marine species within the Port of Nelson. • The survey is part of a nationwide investigation of native and non-native marine biodiversity in 13 international shipping ports and three marinas of first entry for yachts entering New Zealand from overseas. • Sampling methods used in these surveys were based on protocols developed by the Australian Centre for Research on Introduced Marine Pests (CRIMP) for baseline surveys of non-indigenous species in ports. Modifications were made to the CRIMP protocols for use in New Zealand port conditions. • A wide range of sampling techniques was used to collect marine organisms from a range of habitats within the Port of Nelson. Fouling assemblages were scraped from hard substrata by divers, benthic assemblages were sampled using a sled and benthic grabs, and a gravity corer was used to sample for dinoflagellate cysts. Mobile predators and scavengers were sampled using baited fish, crab, starfish and shrimp traps. • The distribution of sampling effort in the Port of Nelson was designed to maximise the chances of detecting non-indigenous species and concentrated on high-risk locations and habitats where non-indigenous species were most likely to be found. • Organisms collected during the survey were sent to local and international taxonomic experts for identification. • A total of 196 species or higher taxa was identified from the Nelson Port survey. • They consisted of 133 native species, 14 non-indigenous species, 15 cryptogenic species (those whose geographic origins are uncertain) and 34 species indeterminata (taxa for which there is insufficient taxonomic or systematic information available to allow identification to species level). • Six species of marine organisms collected from the Port of Nelson have not previously been described from New Zealand waters; three of these are newly discovered nonindigenous species (the bryozoan Celleporaria nodulosa, the hydroid Lafoeina amirantensis and the ascidian Cnemidocarpa sp.) and three are cryptogenic (the sponges Halichondria n. sp. 5, Haliclona n. sp. 1, Haliclona n. sp. 7). • The 14 non-indigenous organisms described from the Port of Nelson included representatives of five phyla. The non-indigenous species detected (ordered alphabetically by phylum, class, order, family, genus and species) were: (Annelida) Polydora hoplura (Bryozoa) Bugula flabellata, Cryptosula pallasiana, Conopeum seurati, Electra angulata, Celleporaria nodulosa, Schizoporella errata, Watersipora subtorquata and Anguinella palmate, (Cnidaria) Lafoeina amirantensis, (Mollusca) Crassostrea gigas, Theora lubrica and (Urochordata) Ciona intestinalis and Cnemidocarpa sp. • The only species from the Port of Nelson on the New Zealand register of unwanted organisms is the Asian kelp, Undaria pinnatifida. This alga is known to now have a wide distribution in southern and eastern New Zealand. • The bivalve Crassostrea gigas was also present in the Port of Nelson and this species is listed on the Australian ABWMAC schedule of non-indigenous pest species. • Most non-indigenous species located in the Port are likely to have been introduced to New Zealand accidentally by international shipping or through domestic translocation or spread from other locations in New Zealand. • Approximately 79 % (11 of 14 species) of NIS in the Port of Nelson are likely to have been introduced in hull fouling assemblages, 7 % via ballast water and 14 % could have been introduced by either ballast water or hull fouling vectors. • The predominance of hull fouling species in the introduced biota of the Port of Nelson (as opposed to ballast water introductions) is consistent with findings from similar port baseline studies overseas.
