Taxonomic Services, Macrofaunal analysis of sediment samples

Tender details

The tender requires macrofaunal analysis of sediment samples from fin fish farms in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador to evaluate the impact of anti-sea lice chemicals on benthic infauna communities. The analysis aims to support a research project on aquaculture environmental impacts, requiring expertise in benthic fauna identification and impact assessments. The work involves sorting and identifying organisms in sediment samples to understand the effects of aquaculture waste and anti-sea lice chemicals on benthic communities, with a focus on generating knowledge for public dissemination.
