Our specialised team of aquatic taxonomists identifies and counts freshwater zooplankton to the highest standards of taxonomic and ecological expertise, maximising data and reliability.
We support both small and large projects, offering regular ongoing monitoring or one-off analysis, combining high quality results with fast turnaround times.
APEM’s strength lies in our integrated approach from initial field sampling through to analysis, and utilising zooplankton monitoring in conjunction with water quality, macroinvertebrate or phytoplankton to provide comprehensive solutions.
This ecosystems-based approach allows us to recommend management strategies that are direct and targeted. Close collaboration with our field monitoring and consultancy departments ensures we can design the whole process from start to finish, maximising the value of our data and ensuring reliability for our clients.
Our analysts undergo continuous training and development, backed up by a rigorously tried-and-tested scientific methodology and innovative technology including our suite of professional microscopes. We are proud of our analysts’ reputation for producing results with a fast turnaround and high accuracy.
We work with a wide range of organisations including the Environment Agency, local authorities, water companies, canal and river trusts and environmental consultancies.
