Lab IntroductionOpenClose

Since late of 2016, the working group of “marine organismic physiology” organized at the marine research station (MRS), ICOB, AS. The major research topic of this group focus on systematic understanding the adaptive mechanisms of aquatic life in a changing or extreme environment. The study subjects could be divided as:

(1) Metaorganisms in shallow hydrothermal vent systems;

(2) Transgenerational evaluations of abiotic perturbations effects on aquatic animals;

(3) Improvement of aquaculture practice through systematic approaches.
