Fish and Fish Habitat Studies

The Trinity Consultants Water & Ecology Environmental Services team has exceptional expertise and experience in the design and implementation of fish and fish habitat studies for a variety of clients with applications ranging from data collection for planning purposes, to environmental monitoring and assessment, to Fisheries Act Authorization. Our scientists have deep expertise with fish habitat evaluation procedures, the links between fish habitat and fish population/community health, and with evaluations of fish health at the individual, population, and community levels.

We commonly apply state-of-the-art science tools in the evaluation of fish health, including the use of genetic, chemical, biochemical, and behavioral tools, to assist with the evaluation of fish growth, reproduction, and energy storage. We also conduct fish community characterization, and fish population size estimation using a variety of collection techniques and fish marking/tagging approaches in lakes, wetlands, rivers, and streams.

We have built a reputation in the industry for successful implementation of fish studies by applying expertise in fish behavior, optimal species-specific and site-specific capture techniques, and fish dissection, tissue collection, and tissue measurement skills.
