Consultations
We offer consultations, at no cost, to discuss your
project and needs. We have technical expertise in nearly all facets
of fisheries telemetry and are happy to share what we’ve learned over
the years. We are not a manufacturing company and thus are not bound
to a particular product or vendor. This allows us to have tremendous
flexibility in project design and to implement technologies where appropriate.
For example, in one study alone this season we are using equipment from
Lotek, HTI, Biomark, Teknologic, and InterOcean Systems to provide answers
to a very complex question on the Columbia River. We are a leading source
of knowledge in the industry and we are always willing to share that
knowledge. If you are considering a study please drop us an email or
give us a call.
