 The Marine Science
Laboratory was established in 1970 under the Department
of Biology as a research centre for advanced studies in marine science.
Current research is focused on the physiology, biochemistry and
molecular biology of marine animals, especially that of fish and
shrimps, in relation to fisheries and mariculture. Another major
research area is the biology and ecology of planktonic and coral
reef organisms in the waters of Hong Kong and southern China.
The laboratory is equipped
with research and teaching laboratories, an air-conditioned aquarium,
equipment and instrument rooms, and a seminar room. It is also equipped
with a recirculatory seawater system, more than 30 indoor and outdoor
culture tanks, and a speed boat.
In 2002, the laboratory
was renamed the ¡§Simon FS Li Marine Science Laboratory¡¨ in recognition
of Dr Simon Li's generous donations in support of the University's
development.
