The Ministry of Fisheries and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) have established a joint graduate scholarship programme in quantitative fisheries science. MFish will provide funding while NIWA will provide supervision and mentoring for up to three graduate students each year. The objective is to develop expertise in quantitative fisheries research, with particular emphasis on the assessment of fish stocks modelling. Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said this was an area where there is a shortage of trained graduates in New Zealand. “We are looking to attract the best students into quantitative marine science and promote excellence in quantitative fisheries research.”
