VisAdvies has been asked as a consultant to perform fish monitoring and evaluation for research on the effects of operating the hydropower plant at Linne. They do this in an independent professional manner and has staff with a lot of experience in this field. VisAdvies also actively develops innovative monitoring techniques and applies them appropriately. In addition, they give advice in ongoing research and consultations. RWE has found in VisAdvies an adequate and reliable partner for a large number of ecological challenges related to the operation of the hydropower plant in Linne.

Waterschap Hunze en Aa's operates as waterboard in the northeast of the Netherlands to ensure healthy fish stocks. Good knowledge about the development of fish stocks and migration patterns of important target species are crucial. VisAdvies supports the waterboard in this by setting up PIT monitoring systems and performing data management in a cloud-based database. A highly insightful and well-functioning system that gives us a better understanding of migration movements and a good contribution to achieving healthy fish stocks.

I have been working with VisAdvies concerning PIT telemetry for almost 15 years. Together we built one of the first pit-antennas in the Netherlands. Since then VisAdvies has become experts in the field of PIT telemetry. VisAdvies is knowledgeable, fast and reliable in its work.

Since 2012, Noorderzijlvest Water Board has been actively monitoring fish using PIT telemetry from VisAdvies. By applying PIT telemetry, we gain insight into the functioning of fish passages. We also gain insight into the fish migration routes within our management area. We are very satisfied with VisAdvies' services. VisAdvies has the knowledge and skills to set up innovative monitoring techniques such as PIT telemetry and works professionally.

VisAdvies conducted research for Wetterskip Fryslân concerning the migration behavior of three-spined sticklebacks at pumping station De Heining. I experienced the collaboration as very pleasant. The years of experience are reflected in an efficient and meticulous working method. The communication is transparent and straightforward. Visadvies is flexible and you can always rely on a sound and useful result.
