Fatty acid analyses of Arctic marine plankton and fish samples

This contract, issued by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans of the Government of Canada, seeks services to perform fatty acid analyses on Arctic marine plankton and fish samples collected from waters in Manitoba, Canada. The primary objective is to analyze particulate organic matter, as well as key zooplankton and fish species, for fatty acid and lipid class compositions using established elemental protocols. The resulting data will include percentages of lipid classes and fatty acid methyl esters for each sample, providing detailed biochemical profiles critical for understanding Arctic marine ecosystems. The solicitation, titled "Fatty acid analyses of Arctic marine plankton and fish samples," was posted on January 7, 2026, with a response deadline of February 2, 2026. The contract request is managed by a federal agency, specifically the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and overseen by Contracting Authority Louise Martel. This opportunity is part of the Government of Canada's efforts to advance research in marine biology and environmental monitoring through precise biochemical analyses of key marine organisms in Arctic regions.
