Malcolm is a fisheries scientist and marine ecologist who studies the population biology of coastal and pelagic fishes. He has particular interests in cartilaginous fishes (sharks, skates and chimaeras), estuarine fishes, migration and behaviour, and age and growth. Recent research projects include tagging studies of the migratory and diving behaviour of great white sharks, and the use of New Zealand estuaries as nursery grounds by juvenile fish and sharks.
