2. Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Farm Design, Consulting, and Troubleshooting
We can help with all stages of fish production from larval production to market.
3. Production of Environmental Impact Reports
Mahurangi Technical Institute's sister company Decker Consultants Ltd. is the largest producer of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) relating to fish transfers and introductions in New Zealand.
4. Fish Breeding Services
Mahurangi Technical Institute is currently involved in leading edge research into the breeding of New Zealand short finned eels for use in aquaculture.  We are also the only New Zealand breeder of Grass Carp and Silver Carp, including the production of triploid fish when sterility is required.

In addition we are involved in the breeding of a number of species of NZ native freshwater fish for environmental improvement.

Talk to us about your fingerling requirements.  We are happy to discuss special requests and investigate new species.  We can breed and supply you with fingerlings to grow on or develop systems for you to breed your own where applicable.

5. Aquatic Nutrition Consultancy and Feed Design
Using Dr Kurwie's unique skills in fish nutrition we are able to consult on all aspects of fish nutrition and even design a food specifically for your fish.
6. Aquarium and Water Garden Consultancy
Individual aquaria and water gardens often experience problems and it can be hard to get good advice from a source that is not only expert but is not trying to sell you any products.

Mahurangi Technical Institute is able to offer expert troubleshooting service, produce reports to aid in dispute resolution or best of all, advise at the planning stage of your project to avoid those problems in the first place.

7. Networking

For those rare occasions when we are unable to meet your needs in-house, Mahurangi Technical Institute is able to draw on an extensive network of contacts within the aquaculture, environmental and aquarium industry fields.  If we can't do it we probably know somebody who can.
