Environmental Impact Assessments

We advise on environmental impacts of existing and proposed fish farming facilities.

We utilise our expertise in a wide range of assessment techniques including bioassays, fish disease surveys and benthic studies.

Our services include:

• assessment of habitat degradation
• ecosystem and biodiversity effects
• potential impact of escaped farmed fish on the ecology and genetic pollution of native fish populations
• contaminant measurement in waste products from aquaculture operations
• monitoring nutrient status
• water column quality monitoring
• benthos characterisation and ecotoxicological evaluation
• detection and identification of toxic algal blooms
• toxin identification
