APEM’s specialist team of marine aquatic scientists provide sample collection and identification of marine zooplankton and ichthyoplankton (fish larvae and eggs) to the highest standards.
We support small and large-scale projects, offering both regular ongoing monitoring and one-off analysis and combining high quality results with fast turnaround times.
In collaboration with our marine survey and consultancy teams, we ensure a seamless process from start to finish, including project design, implementation and reporting, maximising the value of our data and ensuring reliability for our clients.
Our experienced taxonomists provide unrivalled identification of all marine zooplankton groups as well as specialist analysis of particular groups of interest such as ichthyoplankton (fish larvae and eggs) and juvenile (planktonic) stages of benthic species, amongst others.
Our extensive in-house reference collection acts as a permanent record of the taxa recorded in a project and can be used to verify identifications. We also maintain a large literature collection that is continually updated and expanded as new material becomes available, to ensure the accuracy of our identifications.
Our team undergo thorough training to ensure a high standard of analysis. Accompanied by rigorous methodology and state-of-the-art equipment, we are proud of our reputation for fast turnarounds and high accuracy.
