HBRC staff along with members from Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust and Fish & Game have transferred more than 65 eels from Waikōpiro Lake to Tūtira.
Last week dead fish were found in Waikōpiro Lake and it is thought the deaths were caused by a slump in oxygen after a persistent algal bloom died off. The eels were moved as oxygen levels are much higher in Tūtira Lake.
