Tailored Services for Fisheries and Ecosystem Monitoring
COOOL provides a range of field and analytical support services to advance sustainable fisheries management and aquatic ecosystem monitoring, including population assessments, biological parameterization, and species identification.
By collaborating with partner laboratories and research institutions, we integrate cutting-edge methods to deliver robust, actionable insights for responsible ecosystem governance.
What We Do
Develop and execute sampling programs, offering comprehensive sample collection, processing, and training for field personnel, observers, and fishers
Apply genetic and epigenetic tools to determine key life-history parameters, assess population structure and connectivity, and estimate breeding population size
Undertake biometric and morphometric measurements to characterize species traits and support population and stock assessments
Integrate morphological and molecular methods to identify species, correct taxonomic misidentifications, and verify seafood labeling accuracy
Conduct environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys integrated with drone imagery and environmental measurements to deliver habitat assessments
Develop and deploy electronic and satellite tagging devices to follow movement, migration, and habitat use of aquatic organisms
