项目摘要

The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) will be suggested to construct an Outdoor Seawater Facility to study the ecology, toxicology, energetics, and biochemistry of organisms from a wide spectrum of taxa (bacteria, algae, invertebrates and fishes). The facility will enhance current research initiatives at CBL in trophic transfers of contaminants, trophic and community dynamics, migration, and recruitment. These initiatives depend upon both laboratory and field approaches which often cannot be reconciled because of scaling considerations. The outdoor Seawater Facility will provide a critical mesocosm-scale level to complement current CBL strengths in laboratory and field investigations. The Outdoor Seawater Facility will be available to CEES scientists, graduate students, and visiting scientists in several disciplines. The facility comprises a 167-sq. meter cement pad with seawater plumbing, drainage, portable canopies, and flexible-design tanks and raceways. The facility will significantly enhance the range of research and training programs at CBL and will also be a unique facility in the region available to visiting/collaborating investigators. When completed, the facility will be a major contributor to the success of CBL's mission in its three programmatic areas: Ecosystem Studies, Fisheries Science/Ecology, and Environment Chemistry/Toxicology.

建议切萨皮克生物实验室（CBL）建造一个室外海水设施，以研究来自广泛分类群（细菌、藻类、无脊椎动物和鱼类）的生物体的生态学、毒理学、能量学和生物化学。该设施将加强目前的研究计划在CBL在营养转移的污染物，营养和社区动态，迁移和招聘。这些举措取决于实验室和现场的方法，往往不能协调，因为缩放的考虑。室外海水设施将提供一个关键的中尺度水平，以补充实验室和现场调查中目前的CBL强度。室外海水设施将提供给CEES科学家，研究生和访问科学家在几个学科。该设施包括一个167平方米。计量水泥垫与海水管道，排水，便携式檐篷，灵活设计的坦克和管道。该设施将大大提高CBL的研究和培训计划的范围，也将是该地区唯一的设施，可供访问/合作研究人员使用。建成后，该设施将成为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。
