Mapping the Future of Halibut Culture
At the Institute for Marine Biosciences, our researchers specialize in studying aquaculture, natural toxins and genomics. They investigate ways to improve farming practices of marine food, such as fish and seaweed. These scientists want to make sure the resources that we take and use from the sea are sustainable. Our researchers also study toxins, and try to identify different diseases and poisons in the ocean.
