Tjärnö Marine Biological Laboratory

Annually, about 500 university students, mainly from Gothenburg, attend courses at TML, lasting from one week to one term.

A large proportion of the education is devoted to identification of marine algal and animal species.

The major research programs are directed towards marine ecology, presented under six programs – marine chemical ecology, evolution and genetics, biodiversity, biohydrodynamics, fishery biology and aquaculture, and integrated coastal zone management.

TML is a resource for regional industry, decision-makers and authorities, and gives support for the development of research-based marine innovations and business projects.

During summer season the public also can visit the aquarium, listen to popular science lectures and participate in excursions with research vessel.
