Analysis of Asia–Pacific freshwater invertebrates
Aquatic invertebrates are used in many monitoring programmes designed to assess the state of freshwater habitats around the world.
Landcare Research analyses hundreds of freshwater invertebrate samples every year, producing taxa lists and abundance records for clients and for our own research. Automontage photo-microscope facilities at our Auckland Bioassist Laboratory have produced spectacular images of freshwater invertebrates from New Zealand, Brunei (Borneo) and Papua New Guinea, assisting other researchers to accurately identify these species in future monitoring programmes.
