Aquatic Biology
Argus Ecology have a strong capability in a number of areas of aquatic biological consultancy, particularly in freshwater habitats. This includes:
- Biological pollution monitoring using freshwater macro-invertebrates;
- Biological pollution monitoring and classification of watercourses using diatoms;
- Macro-invertebrate sampling and species identification in still and running waters; and
- Aquatic macrophyte surveys.
We have a small Zodiac inflatable, enabling us to carry out more comprehensive surveys of larger ponds and lakes.
We have a long-standing association with a specialist fisheries and marine consultancy based in the region, Aquatic Environments, enabling us to offer a wider range of services including:
- Coastal biotope mapping;
- Sub-littoral diving and video surveys;
- Infaunal invertebrate sampling; and
- Electrofishing of freshwater habitats.
