Chatham mudfish
The Chatham mudfish, ''Neochanna rekohua'', is a galaxiid fish endemic to two small, peaty lakes in southern Chatham Island, New Zealand.
It was discovered in 1994 by C.P. Mitchell, who initially placed it in the genus ''Galaxias,'' and gave it the species name ''rekohua'' after the Moriori word for the Chatham Islands. In 2004, R.M. McDowall reassigned it to ''Neochanna'' based on its external anatomy, behaviour, and skeleton, and this was subsequently supported by a genetic analysis.
The Chatham mudfish is the most ''Galaxias''-like of all the mudfishes, with a short body and small pelvic fins, and is closely related to the Canterbury mudfish. ''Neochanna rekohua'' averages 75 mm (though the largest individuals can reach 175 mm), and is a dark mottled brown. It only lives on the edges of a few peaty lakes amongst submerged wood, so is naturally uncommon, but abundant in the few spots where it occurs.〔
