Research Facilities at Baruch Field Station

该项目提供了相应的资金，使南卡罗来纳大学的巴鲁克野战站能够对其海水设施进行现代化改造，以便在受控条件下饲养和维护海洋生物。为了实现其研究潜力，空间站目前陈旧的海水系统必须被取代。需要在受环境控制的海水条件下维持海洋生物的短期和长期实验对于回答基本的生物学问题是必要的，这些问题包括与遗传学、生殖、生物能量学、种群动态和生活史现象有关的问题。改善海水设施也是必要的，以解决许多问题，这些问题是北入海口正在进行的长期生态研究计划的一部分。此外，新设施将为来访的科学家和巴鲁克研究所的科学家创造许多新的研究机会。

This project provides matching funds to allow the Baruch Field Station of the University of South Carolina to modernize its seawater facilities for rearing and maintaining marine organisms under controlled conditions. To realize its research potential, the Station's present antiquated seawater system must be replaced. Short- and long-term experiments requiring the maintenance of marine organisms under environmentally controlled seawater conditions are necessary to answer basic biological questions, including those relating to genetics, reproduction, bioenergetics, population dynamics, and life history phenomena. Improved seawater facilities are also necessary to address many of the questions which are part of the Long-Term Ecological Research Program underway at North Inlet Estuary. In addition, the new facilities will create many new research opportunities both for visiting scientists and for those from the Baruch Institute.
