Staff quoted: Eric Schott, Allen Place, Aaron Watson, J. Sook Chung, Russell Hill,
The Aquaculture Research Center (ARC) at the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) in Baltimore, Maryland, is one of the world's leaders in sustainable aquaculture research. A unique partnership between the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), IMET takes a molecular approach to study reproduction, genetics, early development, nutrition, growth and disease in selected marine and estuarine high-value finfish and shellfish. This research is applied to the development of novel strategies to improve yields and sustainability of local and global marine aquaculture, fisheries, and ecosystems.
