JBARB
The Dr. Joe Brown Aquatic Research Building (JBARB) provides state-of-the-art facilities and world-class staff with expertise to support research, training, pre-commercial production, and small-scale commercial trials in marine aquaculture. A critical component of the 1400-meter facility is a seawater system designed to deliver high-quality, temperature-controlled, flow-through water. Separate tanks and rooms are available for broodstock conditioning. Paired mating, hatchery rearing, first feeding/nursery operations, grow-out, and physiological investigations on marine finfish.
The JBARB carries out research in collaboration with ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University, Government agencies, and industry partners. The aquaculture potential of various finfish species is being evaluated through the study of broodstock biology, physiology, genomics, and the development of larval-rearing techniques. Investigations have been carried out on Atlantic halibut, Atlantic cod, yellowtail flounder, wolffish, Atlantic salmon, cunners, and trout.
