Culitvation tanks

The Seaweed laboratory consists of twenty cultivation tanks of 1500 liters each. Ten tanks are at NIOZ-Texel, ten at NIOZ-Yerseke. These tanks are specially designed for seaweed research. By means of aeration, turbulent conditions are created in the tanks, which keeps the seaweed in the tanks constantly moving. The fundamental scientific knowledge can be used for sustainable production of food and energy for the future.

For technical specifications or information about this facility, please contact contact Klaas Timmermans, Head of scientific deparment EDS, by email (preferred). You will get a response as soon as possible. In urgent matters, you can contact him directly.
