The Friday Harbor Laboratories (FHL) of the University of Washington is a marine station focussed upon research in zoology, oceanography, botany and fisheries. It is located in the San Juan Islands where an unusual diversity and richness of marine life occurs. Research projects conducted at FHL have helped to reveal the important ecological relationships which underlie the health and stability of the marine environment; have determined the effects of physical, biological and environmental factors on eggs, larvae and juveniles of the many invertebrate and plant species which reside at the base of the marine food web; and have led to the development and use model organisms for the study of embryos, functional morphology and physiology. This project will fill a major gap at FHL. The marine environment is richly endowed with planktonic fishes. This is especially true in the Pacific Northwest region. However, surprisingly little is known about the identity and role of most fish larvae in the plankton. Furthermore, a great deal is yet to be learned about the physiology and mechanics of adult fish, especially non-commercial species. The project will provide funds to construct and equip a laboratory to allow work in these areas.

华盛顿大学的星期五海港实验室（FHL）是一个专注于动物学、海洋学、植物学和渔业研究的海洋研究站。它位于圣胡安群岛，那里有不同寻常的多样性和丰富的海洋生物。在FHL进行的研究项目有助于揭示构成海洋环境健康和稳定基础的重要生态关系；确定物理、生物和环境因素对生活在海洋食物网底部的许多无脊椎动物和植物物种的卵、幼虫和幼体的影响；并导致了胚胎，功能形态和生理学研究模式生物的发展和使用。这个项目将填补FHL的一个主要空白。海洋环境中有丰富的浮游鱼类。在太平洋西北地区尤其如此。然而，令人惊讶的是，人们对大多数鱼类幼虫在浮游生物中的身份和作用知之甚少。此外，关于成鱼的生理和力学，特别是非商业鱼种，还有很多有待了解。该项目将提供资金建设和装备一个实验室，以便在这些领域开展工作。
