scientist for the New Zealand Fishing Industry Board
for two years before starting his Ph.D at the University
of Washington.
Mark continued to contract to the NZ Fishing Industry
Board and various US and Canadian agencies through
Ray Hilborn (UW), developing bayesian models in
ADModelbuider, including the generalised stock
assessment model Choleraine, an Integrated Tagging
and Catch-at-Age Analysis (ITCAAN) and the sex and
length-structured model that was the foundation
of the model still used by both Government and Industry
scientists to assess the New Zealand rock lobster
stocks. He also produced (in collaboration
with Hilborn et al. and now modified by Breen et
al.) the Department of Conservation (DOC) general
marine mammal model that has been used in some form
for Hector's Dolphins, Maui's dolphins and
hooker's sea lions ).
Mark Joined Trophia in 2000 and has specialised
in stock assessments and assessment methodology.
Since 1998, Mark has held a permanent position as
