Biotactic was founded and
incorporated in 1998 by Dr. Christopher Bunt. We are an internationally active
environmental consulting firm focused primarily on fish and wildlife monitoring,
fish habitat protection and natural habitat restoration. Examples of some of our
recent applied work include remote fish monitoring systems, optimization of
fishway performance and nature-like fish bypass channels, ideal fish passage
location, and monitoring of fish pass effectiveness. We regularly conduct
fish migration and habitat utilization studies, and fisheries projects designed
to minimize negative ecological impacts associated with river regulation, river
barriers (dams/weirs), and poor water quality.
We have conducted research in affiliation
and association with the University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, York University, University of Illinois,
University of Prince Edward Island, State University of New York (Syracuse), James Cook University (Australia), University of Guelph,
University of Massachusetts, Queens University . We also work with large utilities such as the New York Power Authority, Ontario
