ECS is providing the services and analysts of the tests on seafood and marine organisms to understand the effects of post oil spill on the marine ecosystem. These tests are not Responsible Party funded and paid for by private funders who wants the data to the public as soon as possible.
If you would like to provide funding for either petroleum or pathogen testing please call 850-417-7008 or email hreed@ecologicalconsultingservices.com.
If you would like to provide fish for either petroleum or pathogen testing - please call 850-417-7008 or email hreed@ecologicalconsultingservices.com.
It is important to take caution and wear gloves, keep the suspected infected (if lesions are found) away from the rest of your catch and preferably wrap in foil and place in a bag if you don't have foil then double bag and keep on ice. Take your fish to the nearest participating tackle shop and they will place in there freezer and call ECS for pickup.
Note: Recent reporting of pathogens such as Vibrio vulnificus are prevalent in most seafood, especailly uuncooked and have been reported on Red Snapper lately. For personal health safety,if you choose to bring in your catch, please wear gloves and avoid touchiing the fish to prevent human infection.
