Fisheries and Wetlands Consulting has skills and practical experience in freshwater fish, wetland vegetation, aquatic invertebrate and waterbird surveys, studies of freshwater fish biology and behaviour, recreational fisheries science, fish movement behaviour, pest-fish science and pest-fish control dynamics including population-modelling and statistical data analyses.
We can provide professional and practical guidance on freshwater fish habitat rehabilitation and many aspects of flow-ecology and wetland habitat rehabilitation.
Through partnership with other independent ecologists and agencies I develop multi person teams as required or deliver individual services as required.
More detailed examples below. For specific information on any of these services please use the contact form.
