What We Do
At Heron Fisheries, we provide a full range of surveys, sampling, and analysis services to help you manage your freshwater environments effectively.#
- Aquatic Surveys:
Our team can survey fish (including electrofishing and ageing), zooplankton, phytoplankton, macroinvertebrates, and aquatic plants.
- Water Quality Checks: On-site testing of temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH ensures your water conditions are monitored accurately.
- Microbiological Testing: We can check for biological pathogens, including sewage pollution, with cost-effective lab analysis arranged as needed.
- Laboratory Support:
In the Cheshire Eco Solutions lab, we identify algae, plankton, and invertebrates under the microscope to give you a clear picture of your aquatic ecosystem.
- Water Chemistry Analysis: We measure hardness, clarity, suspended solids, and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) to assess water health.
- Pollutant Testing: We can also test for key chemical pollutants such as ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and heavy metals.
Tailored, reliable, and expert services – keeping your fisheries healthy and thriving.
