设施
The 365滚球官网 水产养殖研究所 has research facilities for conducting fish rearing studies both on the 莫斯科 campus and in 哈格曼, 爱达荷州. 在哈格曼，养鱼设施既有室内的，也有室外的. 室内设施具有环境控制的生物安全性.
Laboratory managers oversee the fish rearing laboratories at each location and provide the continuity necessary for fish care, 供膳和所有必要的操作，以成功的研究研究的教师, 学生和其他合作伙伴.
The 水产养殖研究所 (ARI) has research facilities both on the 莫斯科 campus and in 哈格曼, 爱达荷州.
在365滚球官网校园里, the ARI operates two wet laboratories that have controlled photoperiods and are supplied with either well or dechlorinated municipal water. A laboratory manager overseas the wet labs and provides the continuity necessary in fish care, 喂养和操作的成功研究.
The 莫斯科 campus wet lab facilities are available to researchers across U of I and Washington State University campuses for a nominal fee.
冷水实验室
The 冷水实验室 operates on the 莫斯科 campus as a water limited recirculating facility. There are currently seven independent recirculating systems on backup power that can accommodate a variety of cold-water species, 包括鲑鱼和鲟鱼. 该设施还维护了一个温水系统来饲养罗非鱼. 每个系统都有独立的制冷/加热、生物过滤和紫外线处理. The largest system has four four-meter diameter tanks for rearing of large populations or broodstock. 其他系统是高复制系统，由多达66辆坦克组成. The Cold Water Lab has the capability to incubate eggs in Heath tray incubators and McDonald jars. Fry can also be held in fiberglass troughs and fed with either single pass or recirculating water. Temperatures in the systems can be maintained between 4 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius.
水生动物研究设施
The 水生动物研究设施 (AARF) is a two-story facility boasting office and classroom space coupled with a state-of-the-art 4,000平方英尺的湿实验室. AARF位于冷水实验室附近.
AARF也是一个限水的再循环设施. 目前有四个独立的再循环系统和备用电源. Three of these systems were specifically designed to facilitate new species development. 一个生产蒿和轮虫的活饲料室支持这项工作. 第四个系统是专用的, 适用于虾和海鱼研究的高复制海洋系统.
The 哈格曼鱼养殖实验站 is in south-central 爱达荷州 approximately 90 miles southeast of Boise, 爱达荷州, 州府. 365滚球官网从美国国立卫生研究院租借了该设施.S. 鱼类和野生动物管理局，并于1998年占有了这片4英亩的土地. In 2006, 新的14,000平方英尺的大楼落成, 包括办公室, 教室和分析实验室. 还建造了一个六卧室宿舍和其他养鱼场, augmenting existing fish rearing facilities and providing housing for trainees and visiting scholars.
哈格曼站有一个6000平方英尺的湿实验室，提供2000加仑/分钟的水.5℃，重力喂养，先用泉水. The wet lab contains 142 38-gallon (145-liter) and 42 152-gallon (450-liter) tanks for conducting comprehensive experimental procedures. Egg incubators and hatchery small troughs are used for incubating eggs and start-feeding trout fry. Quarantine facilities with the capacity to heat or chill water and to sterilize the effluent are in a separate, 高级别的建筑.
Physiological and behavioral studies can be conducted in a common garden environment consisting of three recirculating aquaculture systems and utilizing state-of-the art swimming, 呼吸测量和心输出量室.
Thirty covered outdoor tanks utilize second-use water and are suitable for raising groups of fish to maturity. 室外，1/3规模的跑道(共8条)完善了养鱼设施. The 哈格曼站 also has extensive analytical laboratories used to support research in feeds, 分子生物学, 群体遗传学和基因组学, 包括下一代测序.
研究与教学
研究 is supported by funding from a wide range of sources including competitive grants from agencies, 与ARS和CRITFC等合作伙伴达成合作协议和合作研究, 并与业界签订合同，对产品进行测试和评估.
The 哈格曼站 has extensive analytical laboratories used to support research in feeds, 分子生物学和群体遗传学. Teaching is conducted using state-of-the-art video technology linking the 哈格曼站 to classrooms on the 莫斯科 campus and elsewhere.
Fish research studies are the main activity at the 哈格曼鱼养殖实验站. Reducing the levels of fishmeal and fish oil in fish feeds is a high priority area of research and involves several approaches, 其中大部分是由美国农业部农业研究服务处进行的. 工作包括:
- 评估替代鱼粉的蛋白质来源
- Developing strains of rainbow trout through selective breeding that exhibit high growth performance when fed all plant-protein feeds
- Identifying essential dietary compounds present in fishmeal and absent in plant proteins
Similar efforts are made to lower the use of fish oil in feeds yet maintain the healthful benefits of long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids in farmed fish products for human consumption. 增加营养保留, 即利用饲料中的营养物质来支持鱼类生长, 另一项研究是否同时具有经济和环境效益. 养鱼对环境的影响与营养物质的流失有关, 主要是磷, 对环境, 所以增加了磷潴留, 例如, 减少养鱼场对水生环境的影响.
其他的研究
在哈格曼站的研究中讨论了更多的主题. These include studies associated with improving the survival of hatchery salmon and steelhead trout after release, understanding the basis of tolerance of some strains of fish to high water temperatures or other stressors, and developing novel ways to assess environmental stress in fish using non-lethal methods.
合作伙伴关系
博兹曼渔业技术中心
通过与美国农业部/农业部鳟鱼饲料计划的合作协议, ARI researchers have access to state-of-the-art diet manufacturing equipment for making fish feeds at the 博兹曼渔业技术中心, 蒙大拿. 这包括各种设备，包括锤磨机, 气扫式粉碎机, 各种尺寸和类型的搅拌机, 制粒设备包括一台布勒双螺杆挤出机, 饲料干燥机和真空涂油机用于油的添加.
哥伦比亚河部落间渔业委员会
The 哥伦比亚河部落间渔业委员会 (CRITFC) collaborates in 哈格曼’s research efforts as well as with population genetics research on salmon and steelhead throughout the region.
研究包括养鱼研究，但也包括基因组如何改变的基础研究, 细胞, 器官和鱼类对饲养环境的变化作出反应, 饮食和病原体挑战. Scientists use molecular techniques as well as proteomics and metabolomics to address these questions.
