##### Marine Laboratory Capabilities

##### Plankton Laboratory

The plankton ecology and water chemistry laboratory is one of the core components of CEMS. It covers the analysis of macronutrients (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate and silicate), phytoplankton chlorophyll a, and, total suspended solids, as essential parameters for many projects. It also includes a detailed analysis of the zooplankton and phytoplankton community composition using light microscopy. For analysing phytoplankton that are too small to be seen by ...

##### Marine Biology Museum

Museums play a vital role for the present and future generations of Man by showing the treasures of Nature. In the CEMS Marine Biology Museum, specimens of marine creatures collected from the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea have been exhibited. These specimens have been collected through 40 years of research in the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea. Specimens have been organized in an informative way that will be useful to the students and for those who are interested in...

##### Oceanographic Laboratory

The Oceanographic Laboratory is one of the most important facilities in the center where marine instrumentation related activities are being carried out. Major activities include Calibration of marine instruments, data acquisition and pre and post-processing of collected data. The major instruments available here include Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Profilers, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), Directional Wave and Tide recorders, Real Time Monitor...
