Marine and fishery biology Laboratories

Laboratories specialising in the study of marine organisms, from phytoplankton and zooplankton to species of interest to fisheries.

The work carried out includes:

Analysis of ichthyoplankton and taxonomic and functional characterisation of plankton and nekton communities.
Processing and analysis of biological samples in wet and dry conditions.
Water column assessment using optical instrumentation.
Use of acoustic technologies for biomass estimation and fishery resource assessment.
These facilities enable studies of biodiversity, population dynamics and ecological status assessment in marine and coastal systems.
