Research

In 2009 we had students working with the Vanuatu Fisheries Department conducting stock assessment surveys. Two students went up to Tonga to assist with research on Humpback Whales in Vava'u. One student conducted a project in Fiji studying bull sharks!!!

One student was very well prepared and organised his project well in advance. He travelled to the Phillipines in January/February to study fish cleaning stations which are frequented by a variety of species including Manta Rays and Thresher Sharks.

Within New Zealand students studied a variety of topics including crayfish, seals, freshwater invertebrates, paddlecrabs, faecal coliform, mussels, and shipwreck surveys.
