Invermay

Dunedin scientists had an exciting opportunity to learn more about the rarely examined Arnoux beaked whale this week.

Invermay-based AgResearch applied biotechnologies general manager Jimmy Suttie yesterday declined to comment on his future after restructuring of the organisation's management.

Agresearch is proposing to shed nine staff from its Invermay campus as part of redundancy plans which could result in the Crown Research Institute Institute (CRI) cutting back its total workforce of employees by more than 40 people.
