Detection of Aquatic Invasive Species
DETECTION OF AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES
The IDENTIFICA aquatic invasive species ID service will detect the presence of important invasive species in environmental samples.
Aquatic invasive or exotic species are aquatic organisms that invade ecosystems beyond their natural range. Their presence may threaten the diversity or abundance of native species and harm native ecosystems. Their presence may also harm commercial, agricultural, or recreational activities.
We are able to detect several invasive species in your sample. The list bellow gives some examples of species detected by our service. Other species might be detected if necessary.
