The Marine Resources Center (MRC) is a highly advanced facility for maintaining, culturing, and providing aquatic organisms essential to advanced biological, biomedical, and ecological research. Research is partitioned into two programs: The Program in Sensory Biology and Neuroethology; and The Program in Scientific Aquaculture.
Service and education also play important and complementary roles in this 32,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility. The MRC and its life support systems have increased the ability of MBL scientists to conduct research and have inspired new concepts in scientific experiments.
The MRC provides a variety of services to the MBL community through its Aquatic Resources Division, Aquaculture and Engineering Division, and Administrative Division.
Research and educational opportunities at the facility are available to established investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students. Investigators and students will find that the MRC’s unique life support and seawater engineering systems make this a favorable environment in which to conduct masters and doctoral theses and independent research using a variety of aquatic organisms and flexible tank space for customized experimentation on live animals.
The MRC has a colony of freshwater zebrafish (Danio rerio) to serve the MBL community.
