AQUACULTURE

Mahurangi Technical Institutes specialised aquaculture research, production and education facility was opened in May 2007 by NZ Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton. In this world-class facility, research is conducted on a number of fish species including endangered native fish for reintroduction into the natural environment. As well as conducting ground-breaking research into the breeding of NZ Short Finned Eells, juvenile fish are also produced for use by fish farmers in NZ and overseas for growing on to market size.

Our Aquaculture courses are taught in classrooms alongside our research facilities allowing students to gain a full understanding by applying their theoretical studies to practical aquaculture. MTI is the only facility in New Zealand combining research and innovation with aquaculture education.
