Overview
Comprehensive biological assessment of water and aquatic ecosystems to evaluate microbial contamination, plankton diversity and benthic communities. The analysis supports water-quality monitoring, ecological assessment, baseline studies and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
Key Capabilities
- Coliform: Total Coliform, Faecal Coliform and E. coli enumeration
- Phytoplankton: Identification, enumeration and diversity assessment
- Zooplankton: Identification, abundance and community assessment
- Benthos: Benthic macroinvertebrate identification, abundance and diversity
- Ecological indicators: Species richness, abundance, diversity and community structure
- Environmental assessment: Identification of ecological changes and pollution indicators
