It is vital for fisheries managers to have an understanding of the water chemistry of their lake or watercourse.
There are a number of key chemicals eg: plant nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates, as well as ammonia and nitrites. Because every lake has a unique water chemistry It is important to know what the normal levels of these substances are.
Regular monitoring of these chemicals, along with pH and dissolved oxygen levels, can flag up changes and potential problems sooner rather than later. This allows prompt remedial action to be taken, thus reducing the extent of any potential damage to the waterbody and the fish within in it.
Chemical analysis is useful, if carried out regularly, to show longer-term trends in overall chemical levels or to give an immediate, current level of a particular chemical in the waterbody.
Blueroof offers a full chemical water quality analysis service, for long term monitoring and also to investigate any immediate problems.

Invertebrate Surveys
Surveys of the invertebrate species living in a lake or watercourse can often give you useful information about historic or intermittent incidents of pollution,as well as showing long-term trends in water quality.
We offer services including: surveying lakes/rivers for invertebrates and identification to family or species level. Data can be analysed using one of several scoring systems. For more information see the Macroinvertebrate page.
