Services
Helping to carry the load
Our researchers have a lot on their plates so it’s important that they can focus on just the areas that are vital to their project. Experienced Aquatron staff can take the pressure off by stepping in and taking care of the rest. Whether it is helping with technical requirements, feeding and caring for animals, or producing plankton, we work hard to ensure our researchers are successful.
Adapting each service to meet unique needs
As problem-solvers, we spend a lot of time and effort going beyond our core services by adapting them to specifically meet our researchers’ individual requirements. Take collecting fish for example—by working with us, researchers can tap into our solid network of contacts in the fishing industry as well as our expertise in fish transfer.
