Employing our in-house Technical Resources, Aquametrix offers a unique site selection and site performance survey which evaluates an area with respect to its biophysical characteristics. The assessment provides 3-dimensional tidal circulation information, lunar-cycle tidal exchange, bottom substrate and biological characterization, bathymetry, and exposure information. The results of the survey are provided as a GIS base map, with overlays of proposed (or existing) netpen structures, anchors, lease boundaries, etc.. The assessment allows you to determine if a site has appropriate oceanographic conditions before fish are committed to the water.


Aquametrix offers our industry clients a complete services package with respect to environmental impacts of finfish aquaculture. These professional services include:

• Third-Party Implementation of Environmental Compliance Requirements
• Development & Implementation of Corporate Environmental Management Systems and Programs (see ISO-14000 EMS Development)

Aquametrix collaborates with government, university and industry on a variety of "special projects" in aquaculture. Directed research is often required in the development, or revision, of regulations, siting/operational guidelines, Codes of Conduct, etc. Our participation is that or a third-party research organization with unique experience and familiarity with industry operations.

Directed Research programs also include the science required in the introduction of a new species to the aquaculture industry.
