Our Fisheries section is highly experienced in all forms of fisheries work, from fish rescues and removals to surveys. We carry out fish rescues and pre-emptive removals throughout the UK for a variety of clients. We appreciate that from time-to-time things occasionally go awry, despite the best efforts and all the planning. In response to these situations, we are able to field an experienced team within short time frames in order to better serve commercial clients involved with civil engineering works. Our staff are electrofishing trained to EA standards and we embrace strict operating instruction and health and safety risk assessment procedures. All staff are CSCS cardholders, and as such, we are aware of our conduct on construction sites, and in and around large plant and equipment. We are fully trained and conversive with all aspects of biosecurity. We have a comprehensive Biosecurity policy to ensure best practice is carried out on all sites. Conducive to this ethos is training. All staff have completed Biosecurity modules for the Invasive Non-Native Species Secretariat. All this means peace of mind when we arrive at a site, knowing you can expect a professional and efficient service, sensitive to the needs of the civil engineering sector.
Within the services we provide to the water industry sector, we incorporate biometric data collection and analysis, scale reading, fish ageing and growth analysis through to fish capture surveys such as qualitative assessment:- presence-absence,fully quantitative:- catch depletion, multiple pass, PASE etc as well as population assessment and determination of loss of fish or impact at population level within a reach.
We survey all types waterbodies, from dykes to ditches, streams to rivers, ponds, lakes and lochs, and marine estuaries throughout the UK and further afield. We provide a comprehensive professional service, from data collection to full data analysis and production of interim and final reports.
