Gathering and Synthesizing Critical Data
Projects:
Cramer Fish Sciences is a recognized expert in the design and implementation of fish
habitat and population monitoring projects. Our monitoring is focused on improving
our knowledge about aquatic ecosystems. We are adept in applying innovative technologies
and optimal sampling designs to efficiently assess status and trends. We also have
biostatisticians and biologists that are experienced with sophisticated statistical
analysis to describe meaningful patterns, relationships, and trends. We
are equipped with a fleet of boats, a storehouse of sampling gear, and a full shop
for fabrication and maintenance of field gear. Our services include:
