In order to realize these kind of experiments, the Aquaculture group has at its disposal specialized facilities and instruments such as sound proof chambers, adjustable temperature rooms, closed recirculation tanks of over 2000 lt. in total, specialized tanks for observation and video recording, video and image analysis software and hardware, self and electronic feeders etc. Moreover, the group is equipped with a cutting edge spectrophotometer and numerous computers and laptops especially designed for field studies.
A number of different methodologies have been developed over the years. These include image analysis techniques, digital photography and radiography, swimming trial experiments, multivariate analysis techniques, geometric morphometric techniques and muscle metabolism monitoring, selective staining of fish larvae and juveniles, identification and analysis of skeletal deformities, micro- and macro-photography, quality assessment of larvae and juveniles, use of underwater equipment (cameras, sensors etc).
