Curtin Aquatic Research Laboratories (CARL) supports undergraduate and post-graduate teaching and research programs in the fields of aquaculture, marine science, ecotoxicology, aquatic ecology and aquatic resource management. The purpose built facility is one of a kind in Western Australia and supports a vibrant research culture.
The newly renovated laboratories consist of four controlled environment trial rooms with reticulated with air, oxygen and water. Experiments can be conducted in either fresh, brackish or marine water.
The laboratories are accomplished and highly regarded in the industry, having housed an array of aquatic organisms utilising customisable tanks and equipment, with the assistance of highly skilled staff.
Adjacent to the trial rooms is a well-equipped analytical laboratory with capabilities in water quality, nutrition, live feeds and algal cultures, microscopy and a multitude of other analyses.
