Biological resources
Living & preserved marine organisms
The provision of marine biological resources for research purposes, both private and academic, is one of the main objectives of EMBRC-ES. From the Spanish node of EMBRC we can offer culture collections and biobanks, as well as, a diverse range of species collected from the wild. We have model organisms and taxonomic analysis services. Our facilities allow us to breed and maintain different species of interest in aquaculture. Many of these biological resources can be supplied both on site and remotely, respecting the conditions of each species to maintain their viability during shipment.
