We undertake commissions for assessing the impacts of development to the aquatic environment, such as road construction schemes or water abstractions. We work to identify causes and sources of fish kills and poor water quality and we enable large projects to be achieved, within tight time scales and on budget. We understand the need to enable industry to succeed and enable them to do so by providing help and advice at all stages of the project, ensuring compliance with environmental and ecological legislation
Fishtrack has the capacity to host several fully equipped fisheries teams at short notice to provide an effective, efficient fast service to industry and regulators alike. Our rapid response service is able to tackle any fishery issue, from impact assessment to fish rescue. Our electrofishing equipment conforms to EA and National H&S standards and we have significant fish capture resources. We have surveyed dykes, ditches, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and lochs, throughout most of the UK and further afield.
Our laboratory analysis service can provide full health
checks on live or moribund fish and are highly
experienced with identifying fish pathogens and
parasite infections.
We provide a professional service, from survey obtained data collection to full statistical analysis and final report production. We also produce summary reports for smaller projects. Fishtrack undertakes desktop studies and GIS evaluations as well as reviewing programmes of works and survey data. We evaluate the impact of events and support mitigation and remedial measures as appropriate.
We provide a professional service, backed up with an extensive equipment inventory enabling our teams to operate effectively and efficiently. Our Point boat is deployed in small water courses where other craft would struggle to fit, permitting surveying of the smallest streams and dykes. larger craft and bespoke fabrications undertake a variety of monitoring and surveying programmes for a wide variety of clients.
