Abstract Plankton samples from the Chatham Rise, Pukaki Rise, and Campbell Plateau provided information on the young stages of a number of poorly known New Zealand fish species, and on the presence of a large spawning area of barracouta, Thyrsites atun, over the Mernoo Bank, The Chatham Rise was more important as a spawning area than the areas further south.
