Experimentation tunnel
Main activity
This 160 m² experimentation tunnel, in which temperature can be regulated, is home to two independent experimental systems which are continually supplied with seawater or freshwater and fitted with an effluent treatment system. The first is designed for the acclimatisation of aquatic organisms, while the second is for exposing the organisms to the studied products
