Apologies from Øystein!
Purpose
• Give an introduction to how a website
for describing research facilities related
to aquaculture and experimental biology
could look like
• Facilitate ideas and develop information
requirements
• The following is just an example and not intended to be the final
design
• The data provided is just example data
How to describe infrastructure
• The information requirements and
catagories provided in the ”strawman”
are based on:
– Some internal presentations of
infrastructure
– A small survey among scientists at IMR
• The following is an example of what it
could look like…
EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES
EurOcean maintains a
searchable database of the
research infrastructures in
Europe.
If you are aware of any
infrastructure that is not yet
in this database or any
other updates please
contact EurOcean or insert
yourself a new record and
updates.
EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES
The database includes a description of infrastructures related
to aquaculture and experimental marine biology.
The following research infrastructures are included:
• Land and sea based aquaculture facilities
• Laboratories related to aquaculture and/or experimental
biology
• Other infrastructure related to aquaculture and/or
experimental biology

Historic outline:
Since the opening in 1971 the Research Station in Matre, north of Bergen, has been the
core facility for the salmon research. It was modernized in 2006 with new water supplies,
new and better experimental facilities and new analytical laboratories.
The facilities are designed to do both small and large-scale studies on current and future
aquaculture species. The facilities are also excellent for studies on wild fish species,
including climate-change studies and pollution related experiments.
