Hoki is one of the most important fish species for the NZ seafood industry. Understanding more about the populations of hoki around NZ is vitally important for the future management and conservation of the species. Andrew Dare speaks with scientists Maren Wellenreuther and David Chagné about the assembly of the hoki genome and how genomic tools were used to get insights into the population structure of this species. This new knowledge can be used to inform management of hoki stocks in New Zealand and showcases the power of genomic approaches in getting insights into the biology of hard to study aquatic species.
