Our fish facility holds a volume of over 70 cubic meters and can house both fresh and saltwater species. All systems are fully controllable for flow, temperature and daylength and include tank volumes from 3 liters to 4.5 cubic meters. We have a fully equipped molecular biology lab, a large plasmid library developed for efficient transgenesis in tilapia and a dedicated microinjection system for delivery of nucleic acids into fish eggs.
