Facilities
All the supervisors work at the main campus, where the administration, the High Technology Building (HIB) and most of the research facilities are located at walking distance. The research vessels dock at HIB, and the smallest one can also dock at the Espeland Marine Biological Station, which is located in a fjord 20 km South of downtown Bergen.Experimental laboratories
| • Seawater laboratories with high degree of control of environmental variables for experimental work with fishes and other marine organisms |  |
| • Walk-in cool rooms for culture and experimental work with phytoplankton, larval fish and live feed production |  |
| • Quarantine units for studies with alien organisms, infectious diseases and xenobiotics | |
| • Lab facilities for microbiological experiments and analyses | |
| • Lab facilities for parasitological experiments and analyses | |
| • Lab facilities for eco-physiology, including bioenergetics, osmoregulation, respiration, and nutrition. | |
