LAKE TAUPO Trout have flourished
in New Zealand's predator - free waterways since they were
introduced from North America late last century. Lake Taupo in central
North Island, offers some of the best trout fishing in
the world. Four years ago, when nearby Mt. Ruapehu erupted,
conservation experts feared rainbow trout numbers
would decline.But to the delight of anglers, numbers have remained steady;
in fact the fish are bigger than ever (average weight is up by 500 g to
2,6 kg, and 5 kg fish are more common ). Scientists suspect ash
from the eruption killed the lake's normal species of phytoplankton,
allowing another, more buoyant type to take hold. Young trout have gobbled
up this food and outgrown their parents.
