Biological Monitoring

Biological Monitoring

Each sampling site is checked once during the field season for biological indicators. We use the three-minute kick sampling method. Laboratory staff carry out detailed tests to determine water quality.

During electrofishing surveys, a biological assessment is also carried out using the quicker Rapid Field Assessment method. This removes the need for a laboratory test.
