Undertaking R&D and applying the outcomes
Our Work
Trident undertakes two types of project:
- Research & Development (R&D)
- R&D projects are funded by Trident’s shareholders with the aim of developing innovative systems and processes that support effective and efficient management of New Zealand fisheries. Where possible, we obtain co-funding to support shareholder investment in R&D.
- Contracted research
- Trident undertakes contracted research where we apply our R&D outcomes to provide contracted stock or fishery- specific research services. We aim to provide high-quality research at a fair price. Margins on contracted research projects are re-invested in Trident’s R&D programme.
Our R&D and contracted projects can both be categorised into three broad areas:
- Collecting fisheries data
- Using fisheries data
- Evaluating approaches for effective fisheries management
