Companies capable of executing fish removal and analysis of fish community data would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The requirement for prompt responses to potential flood events also highlights the need for agile contractors adept at addressing evolving environmental challenges, making this tender an advantageous prospect for both small and medium enterprises in the sector. ## Notice As part of delivering the restoration of Hoveton Great Broad and Hudson's Bay a contractor is required to deliver biomanipulation of the fish community within these shallow lakes. This requires fish removal, using a viariety of methods, to reduce the biomass by >75 % with a focus on zooplanktivirous and benthivorous species. The contractor will also gather data and report on the biomass, fish communities, size and age class before and after the fish removal. In addition, following the initial biomanipulation the contractor will be required to respond at short notice (4 weeks) to any flood events or other fish barrier failure to restore the lower biomanipulated biomass, this included reporting on the number/biomass of fish ingress into the two broads.
