Executive Summary The Marine High-Risk Site Surveillance programme of targeted surveillance for marine nonindigenous species (NIS), delivered by the National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) under contract to the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), is designed to detect the presence of a group of five primary and four secondary target non-indigenous or potentially invasive marine animals and plants that MPI have identified as presenting a significant risk of arriving and establishing in New Zealand. It also aims to monitor changes in the distribution of established marine non-indigenous or pest species. This annual report details the targeted surveillance surveys in the 11 ports and marinas covered by the programme during the periods June - September 2012 (the Winter 2012 round of surveys) and November 2012 - March 2013 (the Summer 2012-2013 round). Numbers of locations sampled met the target on all surveys. Numbers of specimens sent to the Marine Invasive Taxonomic Service (MITS) per survey ranged from none to 16, and the total numbers of specimens sent were 44 for the Winter 2012 round and 41 for the Summer 2012- 2013 round. No primary target species were detected but all four secondary target species were: • Eudistoma elongatum was recorded during the following surveys: Opua (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Whangarei (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013). • Musculista senhousia was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Summer 2012-2013), Tauranga (Winter 2012), Whangarei (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013). • Sabella spallanzanii was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Lyttelton (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Whangarei (Winter 2012 – range extension, Summer 2012-2013). • Styela clava was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Dunedin (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Lyttelton (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Nelson (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Opua (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013), Wellington (Summer 2012-2013 – range extension but may have come off boat hull), Whangarei (Winter 2012, Summer 2012-2013). MPI were informed of the range extensions at the time. Eleven of the specimens sent to MITS from the Winter 2012 survey were NIS, including Charybdis japonica (Opua), Grateloupia sp. (Nelson), Metapenaeus bennettae (Whangarei), Nassarius burchardi (Whangarei), Sabella spallanzanii (Whangarei), Styela clava (Nelson) and Undaria pinnatifida (on a vessel in Opua). None of them were new records but Charybdis in Opua, S. spallanzanii in Whangarei and Undaria in Opua represent range extensions and were notified to MPI. S. spallanzanii had been detected on four fishing boats moored on Whangarei Wharves, Port Nikau by commercial divers in early April 2012 and, at the request of MPI and Northland Regional Council, additional sampling effort was allocated to this location during the Winter survey. The three specimens collected at this location during the survey were the first to be found on structures (as opposed to vessels) in Whangarei Harbour. During a shore search in Marsden Cove Marina, a single S. spallanzanii was recorded from another fishing boat. Additional dives were then done around this vessel and large numbers of S. spallanzanii were noted on the hull (two specimens were collected and sent to MITS), but none on the pontoons or other structures. ii Twenty of the specimens sent to MITS from the Summer 2012-2013 survey were NIS, including Grateloupia turuturu (Lyttelton), Sabella spallanzanii (Lyttelton and Whangarei) and Styela clava (Wellington). S. clava had previously been recorded on the hulls of vessels in Clyde Quay Marina, Wellington (in 2007) but the present record (from Chaffers Marina) represents the first since then and consisted of two individuals found on the seabed. They were not attached to any substratum and may, therefore, have been dislodged from a vessel hull. S. spallanzanii was found during diver (five out of six dives) and shore searches (three out of ten searches) in Marsden Cove Marina, Whangarei Harbour, growing on pontoons, breakwalls and pilings. It was also found on five out of ten piles searched by divers at Port Nikau, Whangarei Harbour. The red alga Schizymenia apoda was provisionally identified from Dunedin, but confirmation of this identification requires molecular analysis. S. apoda was first identified in New Zealand from specimens collected from Wellington Harbour during the Winter 2009 survey, and is now widespread throughout that harbour. The eastern Australian penaeid prawn Metapenaeus bennettae, first recorded in the Waitemata Harbour in August 2009 and in Whangarei Harbour in February 2012, appears to be established in both locations
