Further testing found more dead didymo cells in samples collected at two sites on the Tongariro River.

Mr Anderton today said investigations by Maf Biosecurity and the Crown research institute NIWA had traced the contamination to NIWA's Christchurch facility.

"Contamination of water sampling containers was almost certainly the source of the dead didymo cells found in four central North Island rivers in late October," he said.

Mr Andertson said it had been discovered that pottle lids sent to Turangi were contaminated with "microscopic amounts of dead didymo cells".

This does little to inspire public confidence in the authorities.  You guys can breathe a little easier - but not too easy!
There's more to fishing than catching fish - but catching fish is a big part of it.

Yes Tore
 
I fully agree, that as a result of this fiasco, it is of major concern that should a genuine alert be sounded in the future, it may not be taken as seriously as is warranted.
