The study was a collaborative effort conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), which is part of the National Institutes of Health, and the Parkinson's Institute and Clinical Center in Sunnyvale, Calif.
"Rotenone directly inhibits the function of the mitochondria, the structure responsible for making energy in the cell," said Freya Kamel, Ph.D., a researcher in the intramural program at NIEHS and co-author of the paper appearing online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. "Paraquat increases production of certain oxygen derivatives that may harm cellular structures. People who used these pesticides or others with a similar mechanism of action were more likely to develop Parkinson's disease.
Feb. 15, 2011 — New research shows a link between use of two pesticides, rotenone and paraquat, and Parkinson's disease. People who used either pesticide developed Parkinson's disease approximately 2.5 times more often than non-users.

Your explanation suggests removing cats doesn't resolve the problem it simply creates a new one. By the analogy in your letter you would have to remove every single pest species to be effective. The use of Rotenone would do just that. I guess it is the fresh water version of intense pest eradication carried out on off shore islands, Maungatautri and of course Zealandia. In terms of recovery of native species these are generally seen as a success. Sadly we have made a mess of it all. but there are situations were we can make improvements and I don't think the operation at Zealandia should be seen as sinister or the actions of zealots. |

Personally I see Zealandia as something of a open air zoo and an expensive one at that. As such I am not really interested in it other than that it has become a rallying place for dreamers of the "Pest Free NZ Vision". If you really want to champion for the better protection of natice galaxiids than your efforts would be better spent on working for the decommercialisation of the whitebait fishery and the introduction of a maximum daily catch. There are countless troutfree water courses up and down the country that are ideal whitebait habitat but are relentlessly hammered all season long by whitebaiters many of them with dollar signs in their eyes. While trout eat native fish, the real threat to their welfare is widespread habitat destruction and fishing pressure. Like with singling out cats it easier to demonise trout than to look and act on the wider picture. Rainbow |

While we are thinking about restricting the white bait catch we should look at the commercial eel fishery and long fins as well Cheers |
