DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTITUTE |
|
|
|
|
 The present Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research
Council (ISMAR-CNR) in Ancona, was originally established in 1968, as IRPEM (Marine Fisheries Research Institute). In 2001 the name was changed into Institute of Marine Sciences
(ISMAR) which reflects the broad range of investigations covered from physical
oceanography and environmental ecology to fishery
and fishing tecnology. Nevertheless
fishery and fishery related matters remain the special features of the scientific
activity of ISMAR Ancona. The Institute is organised in research units: Marine Fishery Biology; Environment, Artificial Reefs and Mariculture; Fish
Population Dynamics;
Oceanography; Applied Electronics; Fishing Gears Tecnology;
Fishing Vessels Technology;
Marine Geology; Marine Microbiology; Antarctic studies. These units are supported
by general utilities: Administration, Library, Workshop, and two research vessels
“G. Dallaporta” (285 GRT) and "Tecnopesca II" (24.5 GRT). ISMAR Ancona has also an educational
and training role: it is attended by university students (for the preparation of
final dissertations and thesis), by trainee and by postgraduate students funded
by various kinds of grants. ISMAR Ancona is also involved in the training for fisheries Inspectors on the control of fishing activity. ISMAR Ancona has a staff of about 60 people on permanent and temporary positions. |
