title: Estimation of potential contributions of brown bullhead catfish to the nutrient budgets of lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti

authors: Hicks, Brendan J.

abstract: The aim of this research is to apply measured nutrient excretion rates to estimate the potential for catfish to contribute to lake nutrient budgets for lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti. We have assumed that brown bullhead catfish will primarily occupy depths of ≤6m in summer, when water temperatures are highest. This assumption is based on acoustic tracking of catfish in Lake Taupo. Lake Rotorua has about 23.5 km2 of habitat ≤6m deep (29.1% of its area) that is spread almost completely around the lake, whereas Lake Rotoiti has about 6.7 km2 of habitat ≤6m deep (19.9% of its area). The shallow areas of Lake Rotoiti are mainly at the western end (Okere Arm, Okawa Bay, and Te Weta Bay) with only a few shallow bays in the eastern basin (Te Karaka Bay, Te Arero Bay, and Wharetata Bay).

title: Media coverage of 'decades of disparity' in ethnic mortality in Aotearoa.

authors: Hodgetts, Darrin

subjects: psychology

abstract: For some time we have known that factors such as economic prosperity, community cohesion, and social justice bear on health. These societal influences are particularly pertinent to the health of indigenous groups, such as Maori, who are still responding to processes of colonization. In July 2003 the New Zealand Ministry of Health published a report entitled  Decades of Disparity , which proposed (among other things) that neoliberal policies of the last two decades impacted negatively on mortality rates for Maori and Pacific peoples, when compared with Pakeha. In this article we explore media coverage of this report through analyses of media releases, radio, television and newspaper items. It is argued that as the story evolved media increasingly challenged the importance of societal determinants of health, preferring individual level explanations. As a result coverage failed to give due emphasis to structural health concerns for Maori, which necessitate social change.
