Fisheries

Casal2 is an advanced software package developed by NIWA for modelling the population dynamics of marine species.

To get the most benefit from a fish stock in the long term, we need to maximise our yield without damaging the fish population we rely on.

Fisheries researchers combine technologies to collect more data at a lower cost.

To prepare for changes in climate, our freshwater and oceans decision-makers need information on species vulnerability to climate change.

EcoConnect provides the New Zealand fishing industry with a unique operational decision-making tool to help mitigate commercial, operational, and environmental risk.

The Spatial Population Model (SPM) can model populations over one or two areas, as well as populations in many hundreds of areas.

ESP3 is the main tool at NIWA for quantitative analysis of acoustic data.

Scientists across NIWA use specialist tools manufactured across the world to perform their research and environmental consultancy.
