Objective
The Infrastructure is a set of complementary installations for studies on marine bio-production in both natural and culture systems and for research on fundamental processes underlying dynamics of the marine environment necessary for the sustainable use of marine resources. The infrastructure array ranges from highly controlled experimental laboratory systems through experimental ecosystems to well described distinct marine environments: Walk-in cool rooms with running seawater, quarantine units, floating mesocosms, large sea water basins equipped for production of marine fish juveniles and other aquaculture installations, as well as modern fast-going research vessels and an ROV giving access to special marine habitats.
The installations can be used in a highly integrated way, providing excellent opportunities to link experimental research with field studies in the natural environment. Through a series of contracts from 1996 to 2003, Bergen Marine has given access to 272 users from 81 research institutions in 15 countries, funding 109 projects which have resulted in more than 200 scientific contributions. Under the present contract access has been delivered to 52 users from 9 research groups, accounting for a total access of 1178 user-days.
