AQUATIC FACILITIES AND ENGINEERING
The Marine Resources Center's sophisticated life support and water
treatment systems enhance both the quality of organisms provided and
the diversity of research that can be conducted within the building. As
many as ten different regimens of seawater can be provided
simultaneously to any of the research or animal holding areas. In
addition to raw seawater and a filtered/ozonated water supply, eight
independent recirculating seawater systems provide flexible tailoring
for almost any aquatic environment Recirculated seawater is
ozone-sanitized to control fouling organisms and facultative pathogens.
Accurate temperature and photoperiod control within the building allow
for the manipulation of the reproductive state of organisms.
