    Periphyton samples were collected from over 20 stream sites in four catchments east of Te Anau, which were potentially affected by a proposed monorail to take tourist traffic from the Mararoa River to Te Anau Downs. Samples comprised 3 - 4 subsamples, pooled, at each site.

    Periphyton samples were collected from landslide lakes in the Mokihinui, Karamea and Young (Otago) catchments, to allow an assessment of the likely periphyton communities in the reservoir formed by the proposed Mokihinui hydroelectric dam. Data from up to three replicate samples at each site have been merged to give overall taxa relative abundances (%).

    Periphyton samples were collected from small tributaries and rock seepages in the Mokihinui Gorge withinthe area that would be inundated by the reservoir formed by the proposed Mokihinui hydroelectric dam. For comparison, samples were also collected from similar habitats in the Mokihinui catchment outside the affected area, and from the Karamea, a neighbouring catchment. Community composition was determined for up to three samples at each site, covering a range of habitats (i.e. habitats were kept separate).
