Entries for the BioHeritage National Science Challenge closes later this evening.
The competition gave kids young and old the opportunity to make and colour their own paper kanakana in the hopes of winning a variety of prizes.
The point of it all is to encourage youngsters to engage with New Zealand's native fish to ultimately protect and manage our biodiversity.
Ecologist and environmental scientist Dr Jane Kitson speaks to Jesse.
