Purpose
The purpose of this atlas is to help non-experts identify New Zealand’s freshwater fish and learn about their life cycles and distribution patterns. Each species of fish belongs to a family of fishes that have similar characteristics. This guide describes the distinguishing characteristics of each fish family in New Zealand fresh waters and the species in that family that occur here. 
Credit
Many individuals voluntarily contributed the photographs used in this atlas. I would like to thank Bob McDowall and Steve Moore in particular for their superb and generous contributions. Ian Jowett developed the software used to produce the distribution maps and his programming skills and willingness to accommodate my idiosyncratic requirements are greatly appreciated. Ian and Richard Allibone both made useful comments on the text and Janice Meadows put it all together. This project was funded by contract C01820 from the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.
