Some Sprat (red) was recorded, but it was Bullies (light grey) that were present >10% RRA for the first time: Graham’s gudgeon has been recorded in the diet of Otago kororā before, so this was not surprising. Tarakihi and Red Moki (orange, not visible in pie chart) also occurred, while “other” prey (white) were Whitebait (two species of Galaxiids), Blue moki and Thornfish.

Sprat was over 50% of the diet.  In the spring sample, the sample contained Sprat (red) (Slender sprat and Stout sprat). They are in the same family as Pilchards but occur in cooler waters. Triplefins (cockabullies) were very important prey (Yellowblack triplefin, Common triplefin, Estuarine triplefin, Yellowtail triplefin, and Topknot (yellow)). The other species (white) were Whitebait (3 species), Blackhead lanternfish, Tarakihi, Thornfish, Hoki, bristlemouth fishes (genus only), Banded Wrasse, Greenbone. Non-fish prey were Club pigmy octopus and krill.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f89bfb44639202f687ae25/aab1996d-8074-4b25-ba9b-0a641ebb4a6e/Allans+beach+2025%3A26+summer.png Scat DNA Project - Allan's Beach - bigger pie charts In the summer sample, Sardines (Slender and Stout sprat - red), Tarakihi and Red moki (dark yellow) and Cockbullies (Triplefins, bright yellow) were important prey.

In this year’s spring sample, cockabullies (Triplefins, yellow) were important again similar to last year. Some Sprat (red) was recorded, but it was Bullies (light grey) that were present >10% RRA for the first time: Graham’s gudgeon has been recorded in the diet of Otago kororā before, so this was not surprising. Tarakihi and Red Moki (orange, not visible in pie chart) also occurred, while “other” prey (white) were Whitebait (two species of Galaxiids), Blue moki and Thornfish. Non-fish prey were Jellyfish, Krill, Southern Arrow squid and Club pigmy octopus, but none were important. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f89bfb44639202f687ae25/8511a8a1-4521-4197-98d2-fe99eaf13bde/Screenshot+2026-05-07+at+1.59.16%E2%80%AFPM.png DNA project by season - Spring 2025/26 Cameron's Beach and Punakaiki (West Coast South Island). This spring sample from Cameron’s Beach looked very different to the one from the previous year that had a lot of Lanternfishes present. This year Anchovies (blue) were the most important prey, and Pilchard (red) were also recorded. Minor prey were Tarakihi (orange, not visible in pie chart), Cockabullies (Triplefins, yellow, not visible in pie chart), and Blue warehou (pink). “Other” prey (white) were Inanga and Red cod but were not important. No non-fish prey was recorded.
