The field station houses two fisheries laboratories: the Fish Lab and the Plankton Lab.
The fish lab has 16 insulated 200-gallon tanks connected in series, which can use either flow-through water or a recirculation system. There is also a temperature control system so experiments can be run with up to three different temperature regimes simultaneously. This lab provides scientists with conditions suitable for fish rearing and diet studies.
The Plankton Lab contains 5-gallon tanks that are used for experiments on single specimens, to culture small species, or for experiments in behavioral traits. They are capable of the same level of control as the large tank array in the Fish Lab. An AHAB system containing linked one-gallon tanks is used to culture small organisms, and a large optically-clear Plexiglas tank can be set up to approximate meso-scale systems to study fish behavior.
