 Introduction - NIWA Science
Whitebait – just hearing the word can make people start to salivate and reach for their frying pans.
In this objective we are gaining an understanding of the principal factors influencing whitebait distribution and biodiversity.
Mortality during migration is being determined by measuring what proportion of the whitebait run is caught and whether changes to fishing regulations would be effective.

And at the same time as Whitebait was rationalising and dismissing this discomfort as being the ideologically powerful affect of too many media representations of dangerous fl youth, his body was nervous.

If the school is teeming with whitebait, trout will sometimes stun them with a flick of their tail and come back to mop up the dismayed and disabled.
Tasmanian whitebait spend most of their lives in the lower estuaries or the sea with adults migrating to the upper estuaries in early spring to spawn.

Irrespective of the behaviour of individual trout, a progressive upstream movement of whitebait and coincident trout activity over a period of days and weeks is the general pattern, repeated as subsequent waves of bait move upstream.
Generally the whitebait, mainly juvenile galaxiids of various species, are heading upstream, moving from the sea to populate the rivers.
Whitebait may well move up-stream with the incoming tide but because the flow is reduced they may be deeper, more towards the centre of the river and more dispersed.

 Welcome to Forest and Bird
By far the most numerous among the whitebait are the young inanga, swimming upstream to grow into adulthood in rivers, lakes and swamps.
The whitebait nets take their toll, but it is the loss of native forest cover which has decimated koaro, shortjawed and banded kokopu.
While hydro dams largely bar the movement of eels, it is the seemingly inoffensive culverts and dams and fords of roadmakers, farmers and foresters that have spelt death to many small populations of native fish, with simple modifications these structures could be made surmountable and fish-friendly.

 Greater Wellington - Whitebait don’t like muddy waters
The good news is the whitebait season is upon us.  The bad news is that whitebait populations do not like muddy, turbid waters.
All whitebait species spawn in autumn, and around one month later, the newly hatched larvae are washed to sea where they spend their first six months.  The annual spring migration, so eagerly anticipated by fishers, is the time when juvenile fish leave the sea to return to freshwater rivers and streams. 
The season runs from August until December and taking whitebait is permitted only between 5am and 8pm, or between 6am and 9pm during daylight saving.  Only one whitebait net can be used at a time, and the net must meet strict size regulations.

 Whitebait can't jump - NIWA Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Most New Zealanders are aware of the annual spring migration of swarms of tiny fish commonly known as whitebait.
During this upstream journey the whitebait must surmount any dams, culverts, weirs and other in-stream man-made structures that might block their passage.
If the obstacles are unsurpassable, whitebait distributions could become restricted and this could ultimately lead to a decline in adult stocks.

Niwa research has found that whitebait are put off swimming into streams that are too dirty unless there is a very strong scent telling them that others of their species have got through upstream.
However, if Dr Baker can identify the substances that each whitebait species deposits in the water to guide their young home, she may be able to estimate changes in each species' population from the amount of each compound in the water.
Ultimately, it may be possible to attract whitebait into streams which they now shun by dropping the right substances in the streams, and to identify the presence of unwanted pests by detecting the substances they drop in the water.
