- Abstract:
  The article presents information on the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) which will be launched in February 2011 at the Anton Dohrn Zoological Station in Naples, Italy. The project, which will link 15 existing research centres in 8 countries, will create an overarching organization for European research on marine biology. The EMBRC aims to develop technologies to grow model organisms in artificial seawater, and to study and modify their genes.
