Aquaculture Facilities and Equipment
The great thing about the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Aquaculture Hub is that we have lots of facilities that you can make use of.
For instance, in Shetland we have a Marine Hatchery and in Oban a Research Aquarium. We have genetics labs in Inverness, and various research vessels and instrumentation.
- You may have a particular interest in specific instrumentation, laboratories or vessels.
- We have an in-house technical support team to help you from design actually running tests.
