The
Aquaculture Division at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Inc., (HBOI), has
established itself as a leader in the development of culture technologies for new aquatic species.
Division research and education programs address the culture of molluscs, crustaceans, marine ornamentals, food fish, seaweed, and biomedical species. Our aquaculture development and service programs are in place to support industry expansion in Florida and around the world. In collaboration with academic, government and private research institutions, the HBOI Aquaculture Division has designed and implemented culture systems for a variety of marine animals and plants. |
 |
The facilities are equipped with salt and freshwater
systems. Facilities include laboratories, hatcheries, nurseries, covered raceways, a variety of greenhouses
and biosecure buildings, and teaching laboratories and classrooms. The 60-acre Aquaculture
Development Park is an incubator for new businesses that are testing concepts and developing pilot-scale
facilities. The Park provides opportunities to develop new aquaculture technologies; collaborate with a
broad variety of private sector commercial partners; and receive training in a wide range of aquaculture
disciplines.
