About the scholarship

In collaboration with NIWA, the Ministry for Primary Industries is offering Masters scholarships. The scholarships were established in 2006 to allow students to develop expertise in quantitative fisheries science in New Zealand. The research undertaken will contribute to quantitative fisheries research programmes with particular emphasis on the assessment of fish stock modelling. The Ministry for Primary Industries wishes to develop this area of research, as there is a shortage of trained quantitative fisheries graduates in New Zealand to undertake research and contribute to the sustainable use of fisheries.
