AN INDEPENDANT
ASSESSMENT
Just about every serious commercial project needs an outside evaluation of its
viability which is why the best consultants in all fields are always in demand.
The investment in an honest and unbiased report is especially important when
it comes to habitat related subjects as early mistakes can have a devastating
effect as the years pass with correctional expenditure far out-weighing the
initial consultancy fees. The same principle applies to many marine based
projects particularly when the introduction of a new species is being considered
or existing ones are failing to thrive. Rectifying a problem with a building or
manufacturing process is relatively quick and easy, correcting a habitat or
entire environment takes many more years so it is essential to get it right
first time.
Diobas has almost unequalled experience in both large and small projects and
we can accurately assess the viability of any related proposal both from a
fiscal point of view and the long term health of the fish and the environment
they live in. To not make use of this expertise could be very costly in the long
term.
Understanding the behavioural properties of any species can be very complex
and subject to a host of different variables which is why there are very few
companies that specialise in this field of research. In fact we know of no other
consultancy that begins all their projects or analytical assessments by first
becoming completely familiar with the behaviour of the project specific species
before embarking on a general habitat correction or creation program. In other
words we are never influenced by established views of venue requirements because
we do not believe in the principle that any given species behave the same
whatever their location. It is true that all fish have their preferences and to
some extent their evolutionary 'niche' but their behaviour can be
influenced by so many location related factors that the usual generalisations
that other marine based companies apply can be entirely wrong. Read any book on,
for instance, Carp and you will find that the described behavioural
characteristics are almost always the same whoever the author happens to be and
yet this is never actually the case.
These established assumptions can be very misleading and at times even
dangerous to the long term health of the fish as each location must be treated
as unique. Understanding fish behaviour and why it is likely to be entirely
different at a given location is what makes our approach so unique. Behavioural
research into a wide variety of species, both fresh and salt water, cold and
tropical, is now and has always been our primary function. Too many projects are
run from the point of view of the so called 'experts' rather than what the fish
actually need themselves and as we can't talk to fish the only other way to gain
an insight is to discard accepted opinions and begin from scratch using both
many years of experience and modern technology. Much of what is assumed to be
fact is often very far from the truth and even when the established views are
reasonably accurate there is often a distinct misinterpretation of why a
particularly common behavioural characteristic is actually occurring. The right
aspects wrongly assessed is surprisingly common throughout fishing related
publications and the advice given by experts, too many of which end up walking
down an ever narrowing corridor until eventually they can only see one point of
knowledge in front of them, one which has been conjured up by well meaning but
often unqualified opinions.
One of the main reasons for so much misinformation is that very little
technology has been applied in the past as it just wasn't available. To compound
the issue even further is the fact that even when some of the latest advances
are used the results are assessed through minds that are completely biased by
established views. The end result is that very little progress is actually made
. This is not the case with Diobas however as we began our research with both
the aid of the very best technology which is ruthlessly upgraded and a blank
sheet of paper, one of the reasons why we cause so much controversy amongst the
angling community . . . we operate in the future rather than the past.
