Top SchoolDarcy Webber is a fisheries science director and quantitative modeller with 11 years of experience translating biology and ecology into rigorous statistical assessments and software-driven solutions. As founder of Quantifish Limited he has delivered end-to-end fisheries research—from data analysis and stock assessment to bespoke software—serving government and academic clients. His PhD in Statistics and hands-on postdoctoral work at the University of Washington underpin a rare combination of deep statistical rigour and practical fisheries knowledge, particularly in crab stock assessment. Previously supporting New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries, he has shaped sustainability advice and management frameworks used in annual plenary processes. Based in the Bay of Plenty, he balances a scientific career with a personal passion for fishing, often turning field observations into improved population models. Colleagues rely on him for clear, reproducible analyses that bridge ecology, computation and policy.
