Joe LeMay

Joseph Andrew LeMay
Laboratory Director

Mr. LeMay has over 40 years experience working in the aquatic toxicity testing field. His early career centered on aquatic toxicity research at the university level where projects included research into toxicity and detoxification mechanisms in marine organisms and the research and development of a marine bioassay manual for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Later, Mr. LeMay spent several years working for both private industrial and municipal dischargers where he specialized in conducting aquatic toxicity testing for discharge regulation compliance. Prior to establishing Aquatic Testing Laboratories, Mr. LeMay spent several years as a biology supervisor of a large, nationwide environmental testing laboratory where he supervised the testing of a wide variety of environmental samples using both acute and chronic bioassay protocols and bacteriological testing procedures, and as well as other departmental managerial responsibilities.

Jacob Adam LeMay
Laboratory Supervisor

Jacob is a dedicated environmental scientist with 20 plus years of experience conducting bioassays and Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing (WETT) in the laboratory. With a Master’s degree in Environmental and Occupational Health, Jacob has spent their career analyzing environmental impacts and ensuring regulatory compliance through rigorous testing.

His graduate research focused on atrazine—a widely used herbicide—and its fate and transport within the environment. This work contributed to a deeper understanding of how atrazine moves through ecosystems, influencing water quality and aquatic life.

Aquatic Testing Laboratories also employs several part-time personnel who help in the routine aspects of laboratory testing, test organism collection, boat maintenance, sample collection, as well as other client services as needed.
