Our multidisciplinary team of scientists have substantial experience across multiple vertebrate and invertebrate species and in a variety of test systems, (static, flow through, pulsed dose), in marine and freshwater environments). The team comprises proven experts in testing routine and problematic (hydrolytically unstable, highly sorptive, volatile, low solubility) materials and regularly develop novel methodologies, exposure systems and culture techniques to support bespoke testing strategies. We operate in modern GLP-compliant facilities striving to provide the highest quality service possible.
Below: an example of our freshwater and marine test species.
We offer a comprehensive range of acute, chronic and bespoke aquatic ecotoxicology studies with a variety of test species and we can conduct testing to a variety of test guideline requirements.

Fern is an Ecotoxicologist with experience working on regulatory ecotoxicology studies within a GLP-compliant laboratory. Fern completed postgraduate studies in multi stressor responses of Tisbebattagliaiin acute, chronic and multigenerational tests with molecular endpoints at Newcastle University. Her previous experience includes running non-GLP studies in Daphnia and Mysids, as well as hands-on experience in the laboratory conducting GLP Lymnaea,Daphnia and algae studies to OECD and EPA guidelines.
Fern has progressed through the Scymaris Study Director Training Programme and at present has experience running aquatic acute and chronic tests to OECD and EPA guidelines with study types including algae, invertebrates (e.g. Daphnia, Mysids) and fish.
Heather is an Ecotoxicologist with experience working on regulatory ecotoxicology studies within a GLP-compliant laboratory. She has previous experience in running non-GLP screening studies in Daphnia, Chironomus and Mysids. In addition to this, she has provided practical support in GLP studies under supervision of a study director, including the running of Daphnia acute/chronic studies, algae acute studies and Lymnaea studies to OECD guidelines.
Having progressed through the Scymaris Study Director Training Programme in 2021, she at present has experience as a study director in aquatic acute and chronic tests to OECD guidelines with study types including algae, invertebrates (e.g. Daphnia).

Daniel is an Ecotoxicologist with 8 years’ experience working on regulatory ecotoxicology studies within GLP-compliant laboratories.
He has experience as a study director for aquatic acute and chronic tests to OECD, EPA and ISO guidelines with study types including algae, invertebrates (e.g. Daphnia, Chironomus), higher plants (e.g. Lemna) and fish studies as well as development of bespoke tests to meet specific regulatory requirements.
Alongside an eye for detail when it comes to planning and reporting, Daniel has a great deal of practical experience in the laboratory including the setup of static and flow-through study designs, working with difficult, insoluble or radiolabelled test substances and knowledge of culturing techniques for a wide variety of common test species.
Sarah is an Aquatic Ecotoxicologist with over 10 years’ experience in the conduct of acute and chronic toxicity tests with fish, invertebrates, earthworms and terrestrial plant growth studies.
Her previous experience includes a wide variety of laboratory work in compliance with the current EFSA Aquatic Guidance Document and other relevant legislation such as OECD, US EPA, JMAFF, and also outdoor mesocosm studies. Through her mesocosm work she has gained extensive experience in the enumeration and identification of aquatic macroinvertebrates, zooplankton, insect species and aquatic macrophytes such as Myriophyllum sp.
Sarah is an experienced GLP study director working on a variety of standard and bespoke study types, including multi-site studies. She is the author and co-author of a number of poster presentations at numerous SETAC Europe conferences.
Richard is an Ecotoxicologist with over 15 years’ experience spread over research, academia and industry. He has a PhD from Brunel University/Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in Biology and Biochemistry Research, which investigated Endocrine disruption in UK fish.
Richard has post-doctoral experience in academia working on research projects in ecotoxicology, including both in vivo and in vitro methods and the promotion of alternative tests in line with the ‘3Rs.’ Richard also has experience in regulatory ecotoxicology as a study director and likes to get hands on with a wide range of aquatic tests following OECD and USEPA guidelines. In particular he has experience of running longer term chronic studies and designing bespoke experiments to suit individual requirements.
