9311043 Tenore, K. The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) will develop a facility and associated instrumentation for a state-of-the-art laboratory designed to study physiology, bioenergetics, ecology and behavior of fishes and invertebrates. The facility, which will allow research on all life stages of these organisms, focuses principally on critical temperature and salinity controls and on systems that will allow precise measurements of consumption, metabolism, growth and behavior. Respirometers, swimming chambers, controlled environmental tanks, a dosing apparatus, and behavior observation systems are the principal items of the laboratory. A dry lab preparation area and computer monitoring and control center will also be provided. The laboratory will be a multiuser, ecophysiology center available to scientists, graduate students, and visiting scientists in several disciplines. The systems and instruments will significantly enhance the range of research and training programs at CBL and will be a unique facility in the region available to visiting/collaborating investigators. The CBL will cost-share in the development of the proposed facility and its specific systems, most of which will be constructed on site. When completed, the ecophysiology laboratory will be a major contributor to the success of CBL's mission in its three programmatic areas: Ecosystem Studies, Fisheries Science/Ecology, and Environmental Chemistry/Toxicology. ***

9311043 Tenore，K. 切萨皮克生物实验室（CBL）将为一个最先进的实验室开发设施和相关仪器，该实验室旨在研究鱼类和无脊椎动物的生理学、生物能量学、生态学和行为。 该设施将允许对这些生物的所有生命阶段进行研究，主要侧重于关键的温度和盐度控制以及能够精确测量消费、新陈代谢、生长和行为的系统。 呼吸计、游泳池、受控环境罐、剂量装置和行为观察系统是实验室的主要项目。 还将提供一个干燥的实验室准备区和计算机监测和控制中心。 该实验室将是一个多用户的生态生理学中心，可供科学家，研究生和访问科学家在几个学科。 这些系统和仪器将大大提高CBL的研究和培训计划的范围，并将成为该地区访问/合作研究人员的独特设施。 CBL将分担拟议设施及其特定系统的开发费用，其中大部分将在现场建造。 建成后，生态生理学实验室将成为CBL在其三个计划领域（生态系统研究、渔业科学/生态学和环境化学/毒理学）的使命取得成功的主要贡献者。 ***
