organisation profile
The Laboratory of Aquaculture & Artemia Reference Center continues the study of various fundamental aspects related to Artemia biology and its mass-production, e.g. cyst biology and diapause regulation, strain characterization, filter-feeding kinetics, intensive production techniques for cyst and biomass. Since several years the ARC is involved in the following fish and crustacean larviculture R&D themes through interdisciplinary cooperation programmes with other labs in Belgium and abroad.
Testing with target species is done at small scale at the laboratory in Ghent with larvae of fish, shrimp, and molluscs that are obtained from hatcheries abroad. Through cooperation programmes with research and commercial production centers in Europe, Asia and Latin America, further verification work is performed with other fish and shellfish species (e.g. different Penaeus spp.; different European marine fish spp. such as bass, turbot, bream, halibut, cod, Dentex; Asian seabass, milkfish, grouper and mahimahi, different clam spp.)
