Relevant Experience: I currently lead projects to estimate abundance of middle depth and deepwater fish species using trawl and acoustic surveys. I am also involved in biodiversity research programmes in the Ross Sea (Antarctica), around New Zealand seamounts, and on the Chatham Rise. I am current chair of the ICES Working Group on Fisheries Acoustics Science and Technology, and past convenor of the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) Subgroup on Acoustic Survey Analysis Methods. I have extensive sea-going and practical fisheries experience both in New Zealand and overseas, including three Antarctic voyages. I have worked intensively with the NZ fishing industry on opportunistic acoustic data collection and I am a founder member of the Southern Ocean Network of Acoustics which aims to create a global dataset of acoustic data for multi-disciplinary studies. I am an expert editor for ICES Journal of Marine Science. I also have experience in biological sampling, catch-effort analysis, otolith collection and stomach contents analysis.
