Kitea ai ngā Ika kitakita (Galaxias divergens) kua tata te korehāhā i ngā wāhi pāpaku, oruoru hoki o ngā awa nui, i ngā wāhi kirikiri o ngā wāhanga oruoru o ngā awa iti kei ngā rauwiringa wai. Me nui te marumaru, me ngā poro rākau, toka rānei i te wai. Ko āna tino kai, ko ngā torongū piriwai, namupoto anō hoki.
I Te Ika-a-Māui, ka noho ngā Ika kitakita i te hikuwai o te awa o Waihou, e tata ana ki Putaruru; i ētahi wāhi hoki kei te awa o Rangaitāiki, e tata ana ki Galatea; i Te Matau-a-Māui me Te Upoko o Te Ika-a-Māui anō hoki. I Te Waipounamu, kitea ai ngā ika rikiriki i Te Tauihu-o-Te-Waka-a-Māui, i Te Tai Poutini hoki, tae noa ki te awa o Hokitika.
