Aquatic Ecotoxicology
Work with a partner with more than 20 years of experience in a wide range of study types on water quality and aquatic life. Why not see what studies we can help you with.
Fera offers a full package of studies to GLP on aquatic non-target organisms, on microorganisms and ready biodegradability tests. The potential toxic effects of Plant Protection Products (PPPs), chemicals and metabolites on algae and aquatic macrophytes are examined using different types of study designs in accordance with current OECD and EPA guidelines, covering the requirements for the registration of plant protection products (PPPs) and veterinary medicines.
All studies are planned and performed by an experienced team of scientists and technical personnel, with the analytical dose verification and fate of the active ingredient(s) is performed as close as possible in parallel to the biological part of the study. We can also adapt our services to provide bespoke tests that meet your specific data requirements.
