Further focal points are the monitoring of the institute's own fish farm and accompanying water analyses for various research projects. The laboratory's scope of services also includes testing samples to determine whether the water is suitable for fish farming. After unexplained fish losses or fish deaths, a search can be carried out to determine whether the possible cause relates to the water quality.
For this purpose, we offer the analysis of the following parameters:
- Oxygen content and calculation of oxygen saturation
- pH value
- Carbonate hardness (acid binding capacity)
- Electrical conductivity
- Organic load (oxygen consumption, potassium permanganate consumption)
- Nitrogen parameters (ammonium, nitrite, nitrate)
- ortho-phosphate, total phosphorus
- chloride
- Suspended solids content
To ensure the correctness and accuracy of the analytical results, a quality management system according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 was installed for the laboratory in 2007, which is checked by regular external audits.
