Galaxias sp. Galaxias olidus - no other species yet known from this catchment, and genetic and detailed taxonomic analysis required to separate species.

There is a good chance these are mountain Glaxias, as these fish like the high country , also with numbers this high there can’t be a lot of trout in this area
