QuanTech is a statistical analysis and survey research firm headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The company provides a complete range of survey research, data collection and statistical analysis capabilities through our professional staff, in-house Survey Research Center, and extensive field interviewing network. The company specializes in the collection and analysis of data for the Department of Commerce (NOAA Fisheries) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

We provide clients with a wide range of data collection and analysis methodologies, and maintain a high level of client satisfaction. The Fisheries Research Group coordinates QuanTech's Large Pelagics Survey (LPS) for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The primary purpose of the LPS is to collect data needed for generating estimates of both the recreational fishing effort directed at large pelagic species and the recreational catch of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna. The estimates developed from this data are used for monitoring of the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna fishery. A secondary goal of this survey is to collect catch data for other highly migratory species such as billfishes, sharks, and tunas other than Bluefin Tuna.
