ABOUT
A complete and authoritative guide to whitebaiting—a passionate, culturally significant seasonal pastime in New Zealand.
The text reveals that "whitebait" are not a single species, but rather the juvenile translucent stages of five distinct native freshwater fish species belonging to the Galaxiidae family (primarily inanga, but also kōkopu and kōaro).
McDowall covers everything from lifecycle migrations and the historical significance of the fishery to Māori communities, to practical modern angling methods, regional laws, and cooking recipes.
Dr. Bob McDowall (1939–2011) was one of New Zealand's foremost experts on freshwater fish biology.
Illustrated with monochrome and colour images and diagrams.
