Marine high-risk site surveillance Annual report for all ports and marinas 2013–2014 (Project 12099) [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The Marine High-Risk Site Surveillance programme of targeted surveillance for marine nonindigenous species (NIS), delivered by 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 May–September 2013 (the Winter 2013 round of surveys) and November 2013–March 2014 (the Summer 2013–2014 round). Numbers of locations sampled met the target on all surveys apart from the summer survey of Otago Harbour, when severe weather caused the loss of several trap lines and reduced the number of trap deployments. Numbers of specimens sent to the Marine Invasives Taxonomic Service (MITS) per survey ranged from none to nine, and the total numbers of specimens sent were 26 for the Winter 2013 round and 33 for the Summer 2013–2014 round. No primary target species were detected, but all four secondary target species were: • Arcuatula (Musculista) senhousia was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014). • Eudistoma elongatum was recorded during the following surveys: Opua (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014). • Sabella spallanzanii was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Lyttelton (Winter 2013), Nelson (Summer 2013–2014 – range extension), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014). • Styela clava was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Lyttelton (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Nelson (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Opua (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Otago Harbour (Winter 2013, Summer 2013-2014), Picton (Winter 2013 – range extension), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014). Eight of the specimens sent to MITS from the Winter 2013 survey were NIS, including: • the red alga Grateloupia turuturu (Tauranga – the first record from this location during a MHRSS survey); • the sponge Halisarca dujardini (Wellington); • the phoronid worm Phoronis ijimai (Whangarei – new record for New Zealand) • Sabella spallanzanii (Whangarei); • Styela clava (Picton – range extension and Whangarei). Ten of the specimens sent to MITS from the Summer 2013–2014 survey were NIS including: • the colonial ascidian Botrylloides giganteum (Whangarei – new record for New Zealand); • the bryozoan Celleporaria umbonatoidea (Opua); • the crab Pyromaia tuberculata (Port Taranaki – range extension); • the solitary ascidian Pyura doppelgangera (Opua – range extension); Ministry for Primary Industries Marine High Risk Site Surveillance Annual Report 2013–2014 • Sabella spallanzanii (Nelson – range extension and Whangarei). MPI were informed of the range extensions and new-to-New Zealand species at the time of collection or the time that identity was confirmed.

This annual report details the targeted surveillance surveys in the 11 ports and marinas
covered by the programme during the periods May–September 2013 (the Winter 2013 round
of surveys) and November 2013–March 2014 (the Summer 2013–2014 round).
Numbers of locations sampled met the target on all surveys apart from the summer survey of
Otago Harbour, when severe weather caused the loss of several trap lines and reduced the
number of trap deployments.
Numbers of specimens sent to the Marine Invasives Taxonomic Service (MITS) per survey
ranged from none to nine, and the total numbers of specimens sent were 26 for the Winter
2013 round and 33 for the Summer 2013–2014 round.
No primary target species were detected, but all four secondary target species were:
• Arcuatula (Musculista) senhousia was recorded during the following surveys:
Auckland (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer
2013–2014).
• Eudistoma elongatum was recorded during the following surveys: Opua (Winter 2013,
Summer 2013–2014), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014).
• Sabella spallanzanii was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter
2013, Summer 2013–2014), Lyttelton (Winter 2013), Nelson (Summer 2013–2014 –
range extension), Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014).
• Styela clava was recorded during the following surveys: Auckland (Winter 2013,
Summer 2013–2014), Lyttelton (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Nelson (Winter
2013, Summer 2013–2014), Opua (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014), Otago Harbour
(Winter 2013, Summer 2013-2014), Picton (Winter 2013 – range extension),
Whangarei (Winter 2013, Summer 2013–2014).
Eight of the specimens sent to MITS from the Winter 2013 survey were NIS, including:
• the red alga Grateloupia turuturu (Tauranga – the first record from this location
during a MHRSS survey);
• the sponge Halisarca dujardini (Wellington);
• the phoronid worm Phoronis ijimai (Whangarei – new record for New Zealand)
• Sabella spallanzanii (Whangarei);
• Styela clava (Picton – range extension and Whangarei).
Ten of the specimens sent to MITS from the Summer 2013–2014 survey were NIS including:
• the colonial ascidian Botrylloides giganteum (Whangarei – new record for New
Zealand);
• the bryozoan Celleporaria umbonatoidea (Opua);
• the crab Pyromaia tuberculata (Port Taranaki – range extension);
• the solitary ascidian Pyura doppelgangera (Opua – range extension);
