Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research

Facilities

The centre 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.
