We work with:

Aquaculture RAS
Aquaculture Ponds
Ornamental Aquaria
Nutrition & Health studies

We work alongside RAS, pond and ornamental producers of all species to give them the facts they need to help them reduce risk and increase the efficiency of their operations. Similarly, our service can benefit nutrition and health researchers by offering them a richer picture of the biological interactions at play in their studies.

Tailored to You

Our process is unique - it was developed by aquaculture experts who understand the challenges that aquatic environments present. This expertise allows us to further tailor the delivery of our service to your needs. Our team of experts will help you through the entire process, empowering you to optimize the health and performance of your system or drive your research forward.

We offer to customize delivery levels to suit your needs, providing:

  • Option for in-depth reporting on conclusions for hypothesis-driven projects
  • Option for targeted PCR for species of concern
  • Option for expanded analysis and reporting
