Nunavut Baseline Phytoplankton Taxonomy

Tender details

Fisheries and Oceans Canada needs expert taxonomic analysis of Arctic ice algae and phytoplankton samples using inverted microscopy, including detailed species-level identification and cell counts from preserved samples. The work supports Arctic ecosystem monitoring, climate-change impact assessment, and biodiversity/food-web studies by tracking shifts in community composition, harmful species, and carbon cycling. The supplier must provide specialized Arctic phytoplankton expertise, lab equipment, and references for scientifically defensible analysis.
