CREST is a highly adaptable approach to fisheries and other acoustic data acquisition, using the concept of a "software echo sounder". Computer-based, it lets us combine acoustic data with navigational, environmental and other data as required.

CASAL (C++ algorithmic stock assessment laboratory) is an advanced software package developed by NIWA for fish stock assessment. The software implements a generalised age- or length-structured fish stock assessment model that allows a great deal of choice in specifying the population dynamics, parameter estimation, and model outputs.

The OpenScience project is dedicated to writing and releasing free and Open Source scientific software.
