		After Wairata the Waioeka Scenic Highway follows the right bank of the Waioeka River virtually all the way to Opotiki through some fine stands of native forest.
		The name Waioeka seems to be a corrupted form of Waioweka (water of the weka) and although weka disappeared from here in the 1920s, a few have recently returned to the upper reaches of the river, presumably from Poverty Bay.
		Lamprey, koara, banded kokopu, both species of eel and inanga are among the native fish of the Waioeka, together with the introduced brown and rainbow trout.

	GENETIC STRUCTURE OF BLUE DUCK (HYMENOLAIMUS MALACORHYNCHOS) POPULATIONS REVEALED BY DNA FINGERPRINTING
		The "lower section" was at the downriver extremity of the birds' range and was 28-37 km from the river's confluence with the Wanganui River.
		Although the Manganuiateao River is a tributary of the Wanganui River, the study site is about 200 km via the river course from the nearest Blue Duck pop- ulation in the Wanganui River catchment.
		A greater genetic similarity between adjacent rivers than between geo- graphically isolated regions suggests that these populations are interconnected by a small de- gree of gene flow.
