Significant rivers and river segments in Otago were identified using the Freshwater Habitats of New Zealand (FENZ) framework and locations of indigenous fish with a threat status of Threatened. The existing FENZ rankings were compiled using the spatial conservation prioritisation software, Zonation. Streams from the FENZ rivers layer within catchments that were ranked highly (roughly the top 10% of sites) on a regional basis (ranked 1-151) or a national basis (ranked 1-2,697) were mapped as significant. In addition, stream reaches where Threatened indigenous fish had been recorded in the New Zealand Freshwater Fish Database were also mapped a significant. Where there was overlap between these factors, reaches with Threatened fish overwrite all other factors, while national FENZ ranking overwrites regional FENZ ranking. |
