Rovinj/Kroatien The Rovinj research station

The Rovinj research station celebrated its 100th anniversary in what is now the fifth sovereign state it has gone through in its entire history: the Republic of Croatia. Today it is a modern and respectable marine institution in this part of the Mediterranean. It employs 35 graduated scientists, 6 technicians and 15 professional and auxilliary persons.

Research is carried out in three units: Laboratory for Ecology and Systematics, Laboratory for Physics, Chemistry and Primary Production, and Laboratory for Ecophysiology and Toxicology.

Basic research activities cover a wide range and include studies of hydrography of the northern Adriatic, marine flora and fauna, ecology with special references to benthic communities, primary productivity, phytoplankton variations in time and space, mechanisms of eutrophication processes, specific pollution studies, sanitary aspects of marine microbiology, ecophysiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of marine organisms.
