Graduate Program in Biological Oceanography

The Marine Aquaculture Station "Prof. Marcos Marchiori" (EMA), of the Oceanography Institute of FURG, was inaugurated in 1990. In it, Prof. Dr. Wilson Francisco Britto Wasielesky Junior is responsible for the Carcinoculture Laboratory and the coordination of the Shrimp Project, besides acting in teaching, extension, and undergraduate and postgraduate research.

The main related research lines are: 1) Production of Aquatic Invertebrate Organisms and Primary Producers; and 2) Applied Biotechnology and Aquaculture.

In terms of cultivation, the shrimp group is particularly investigated, since research and studies on these animals can also supply local, regional, and national socio-economic demands.

It is active in the Graduate Program in Biological Oceanography (PPGOB) and in the Graduate Program in Aquaculture (PPGAqui), both at the master's and doctorate levels.
