Aquametrix Research maintains a professional and technical staff with complementary specialties covering the mulitfaceted aspects of marine ecology, oceanography and aquaculture. The Aquametrix team offers a unique and proven project management/performance strategy to each of our clients. The focus of our management approach requires that senior project personnel participate in all levels of an accepted assignment (i.e., individuals responsible for reporting have also been involved in program design and implementation, data analysis/presentation, etc.). This comprehensive involvement by professional staff ensures that final documents contain all pertinent enviornmental information and guarantees the thoroughness and reliability of our evaluations.


A list of selected projects is provided below as examples of our historical work within the aquaculture idustry. These documents are not currently available through AQUAMETRIX, but a posting of pdf files will be developed in the near future for those who might wish to download some of this material.
