Taxonomic & Laboratory Services
Our in house lab provides taxonomic services for benthic invertebrate samples to our clients, including land developers, industry, government agencies as well as private individuals. Our taxonomists are certified with NABS Society of Freshwater Science to a minimum of family level for aquatic invertebrates and have processed hundreds of benthic samples. We also provide field sampling services for aquatic invertebrates following the OBBN protocol. Data analysis and report writing can be tailored to meet your study requirements.
Our most requested services include:
- Sorting and identification to family level of benthic samples including rapid field assessment of organic pollution with the family-level biotic index
- Field sampling service for benthic samples following the OBBN Protocol including; OBBN portal data entry, sorting and identification to family level, rapid field assessment of organic pollution with the family-level biotic index, and also habitat assessment for low and high gradient streams (Barbour et al. 1999)
