Aquatic Invertebrates

“Water is the driving force of all nature.” Leonardo da Vinci

The ecologia invertebrate team has extensive professional experience in aquatic macroinvertebrate baseline survey design, research, and monitoring programme establishment. The team has the capability to tailor surveys to your requirements and needs. Whether you are a community group concerned about the health of your south-west stream, or a major mining company in the goldfields where salt lakes may be of concern with regard to the Environmental Impact Assessment, our team will deliver timely, accurate and scientifically robust results.

Key Products:

• Freshwater (Riverine and Wetland) Baseline Biodiversity Surveys.
• Salt Lake Baseline Biodiversity Surveys.
• Riverine Health Assessments (e.g. AusRivas).
• Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Monitoring Programmes.

Mosquito Survey Capabilities

Mosquitoes are often a harmless, but annoying faunal group, ruining family outings and lazy afternoons. But, they can also be the vectors of disease and even death.

That is why it is so important to ensure any proposed development does not encourage the proliferation of mosquito species, particularly those whom are vectors of diseases such as Ross River virus, Barmah Forest virus and Japanese Encephalitis, all of which are increasingly common throughout Australia.

Ecologia has a team of invertebrate biologists who are knowledgeable in the design and implementation of mosquito surveys (adult and larval), monitoring programmes and management plans. All identifications are done in-house meaning no costly delays due to taxonomic and transportation requirements.
