Darren M Parsons

PeerJ Editor & Author

Summary

Darren completed degrees at the University of Auckland where he used acoustic tracking technology to study fish movement within a marine reserve. He then completed a PhD at North Carolina State University where he investigated the effect of a recreational fishery on spiny lobster. Since 2006 Darren has been at NIWA, where he has investigated a range of fish ecology projects, focusing on the value of juvenile fish nurseries and climate change effects on fish larvae. More recently Darren's work has focused on fisheries monitoring projects such as describing the age distribution of inshore fisheries and estimating relative indices of abundance via trawl and potting survey's and CPUE analyses. In 2017 Darren was co-appointed through the University of Auckland's Joint Graduate School in Coastal and Marine Science.
