UiB has collaborated with Namibia since 1983. Along with the Institute of Marine Research, UiB has educated and guided students in fisheries biology and fisheries management.

Hilkka Ndjaula is the first person to have completed a doctoral degree through the collaboration. She is also one of the first Namibian women to take a doctoral degree in fisheries research.
’There are very few people in Namibia who have doctoral degrees in fishery subjects. Most students take Master’s degrees and end up working in fisheries management. I hope my degree will inspire other Namibians to take doctoral degrees and continue their research,’ says Hilkka Ndjaula.

Hilkka Ndjaula recently defended her dissertation ‘Reproductive traits and variability of pelagic fish resources’, at the Department of Biology at UiB. Her field is the management of heavily fished species of fish. Namibia is Africa’s biggest fisheries nation, but the country’s investment in tourism and oil exploration may have an impact its fish resources.
