Objectif Description:The Institute of Aquaculture is one of the largest institutions devoted to aquaculture science in the world. With over 100 staff the Institute has unrivalled expertise and experience in research leading to the development of sustainable aquaculture systems. Major research areas include disease and health management, reproduction and genetics, nutrition and biochemistry, environmental impact, and aquaculture systems and development. There are over 1200 m2 of dedicated and well-equipped laboratory spaces covering virology, microbiology, parasitology, pathology, electron microscopy, biochemistry, nutritional physiology, immunology, reproductive physiology, radio immunoassay, molecular biology, genetics, water chemistry, ecotoxicology, crustacean biology, and geographical information systems. The Institute is unique within Europe in being able to offer within one institution this range of facilities devoted to aquaculture research. In addition, there are 750 m2 of excellent aquarium facilities at Stirling suitable for cold and warm water freshwater species, and for work with infectious diseases. Nearby there are further extensive freshwater facilities and the Institute also has a semi-commercial scale marine facility on the west coast of Scotland.Application:To submit research proposal to use these facilities please contact Dr R Wootten.Project Manager:Rodney Wootten, Institute of Aquaculture, Stirling FRK9 4LA, United KingdomTel: +44-1786-467870Fax: +44-1786-472133E-Mail: rw3@stir.ac.uk Champ scientifique natural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistryagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesfisheriesnatural sciencesbiological sciencesgeneticsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticsmicroscopyelectron microscopymedical and health sciencesbasic medicinephysiology Programme(s) FP5-HUMAN POTENTIAL - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Improving the human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base" (1998-2002) Thème(s) 1.4.1.-2. - Access to Research Infrastructures Appel à propositions Data not available Régime de financement LFC - Access to Research Infrastructures Coordinateur UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING.
