Aquaculture Facilities and Equipment

The great thing about the UHI Aquaculture Hub is that we have lots of facilities that you can make use of.

For instance, in Shetland we have a Marine Hatchery and in Oban a Research Aquarium.  We have genetics labs in Inverness, and various research vessels and instrumentation.

  • You may have a particular interest in specific instrumentation, laboratories or vessels. 
  • We have an in-house technical support team to help you from design actually running tests.

If you would like a tour, or for us to talk you through what we have, and how it could help you.  Why not Contact Us and have a tour and discuss your specific requirements.
