This book was printed by the Garamond Press in Baltimore, Maryland. PREFACE This Directory stems from a recommendation made by the Hydrobiology Committee of the American Institute of Biological Sciences in 195 1, which resulted in the publication of the Direc- tory of Hydrobiological Laboratories and Personnel in North America. Although aware of the need for a world directory, the Hydrobiology Committee was not prepared at that time to tackle a project of this magnitude. Substantial further impetus was given the idea of a world directory at the International Conference on Marine Biological Laboratories sponsored by the Interna- tional Union of Biological Sciences held in Rome, Italy, in 1955. Participants in this meeting were impressed by accounts of the apparently large number of laboratories throughout the world devoted to research and instruction in marine biology, yet none of the assembled leaders had a comprehensive view of the extent and location of these centers. Accordingly, a small international committee was formed to expedite the compilation of a world-wide directory of marine biological stations. Professor Louis Page (France) was appointed chair- man, and the committee consisted of Professor A. Buzzatti-Traverso (Italy), Professor Robert W. Hiatt (United States), Dr. F. S. Russell (LInited Kingdom), and Professor Gunnar Thorson (Denmark). Although both the AIBS Hydrobiology Committee and the Biology Branch of the U. S. Office of Naval Research had placed a world directory high on their lists of important projects since 1951, the magnitude of the task and the considerable costs involved in the preparation of such a directory resulted in its delay until 1959. At this time, the Biology Branch of the U. S. Office of Naval Research, long a forceful advocate of improved exchange of information among aquatic scientists, found it possible to finance the preparation of this world directory under the aegis of the AIBS Hydrt)biology Committee, with the writer undertaking the responsibility for the compil- ation. The committee formed at Rome was mobilized and proceeded with the task. In view of the similarity in facilities and general objectives of both marine and fresh-water biological laboratories, and because of the great need for a world-wide inventory of all such centers, the committee agreed that the Directory should encompass both marine and fresh-water institutions. Accordingly, Professor Arthur D. Hasler (United States) was invited to join the committee to advise on the fresh-water facilities. In the course of initial correspondence between Professor Fage and selected country repre- sentatives, it was discovered that UNESCO had also embarked on a compilation of marine scientific stations. Further correspondence between Professor Fage, Dr. A. Perez- Vitoria (re- sponsible for compiling the UNESCO directory) and the writer resulted in a collaborative project between UNESCO, FAO, and the international committee, whereby UNESCO made all their data available for inclusion in the present Directory. The purpose of the Directory is to describe, on a world-wide basis, existing facilities, together with the scope of activities in research and instruction in the marine and fresh-water biological sciences. Early in our compilation, it became apparent that some restrictions would have to be placed on the kinds of institutions to be included, so as to maintain a reasonable degree of homogeneity among the centers listed. Accordingly, only laboratories are included which are devoted exclusively, or to a great extent of their total program, to marine or fresh-water biology. Within this context we have excluded marine and fresh-water scientific institutions devoted exclusively to physical and chemical sciences, laboratories involved exclusively with fishery technology, and college or university departments or institutes not concerned exclusively with marine or fresh-water biology. The committee is well aware that a great amount of the significant research and instruction in marine and fresh-water biology is accomplished in regular departments of biology, zoology or botany of many colleges and universities. However, to include all such departments would require the listing of virtually all colleges and universities in the world. We considered this task to be beyond the scope of our objectives. The committee feels strongly that a primary objective of the Directory should be to facili- tate communication between scientists in different geographical locations who are engaged in similar or related research projects. For this reason, the major research programs and their scientific leaders have been included. No attempt has been made to list all the professional staff of any station, because of the frequent change in personnel and the inevitable shifting of scientists from one station to another. Because many stations are small or in isolated areas, library facilities are often inadequate. The committee has included, therefore, a list of the publications issued by each laboratory or its parent organization in the expectation that exchanges of such publications between research centers will be facilitated. The need for such a Directory requires no justification. There is no up-to-date, world- wide account of marine and fresh-water biological stations. Following World War II, in- terest increased greatly in the development and expansion of marine and fresh-water biological research, particularly when these subjects were related to development and management of aquatic resources. Economic development in recently independent nations and older nations economically poorly developed has also influenced significantly the expansion of research and utilization of aquatic resources. National and international programs of oceanographic re- search are now placing obligations upon all maritime countries to establish centers for such investigations. It is appropriate at this time, therefore, to compile a comprehensive account of existing facilities to provide aquatic scientists with a framework upon which to plan future activities. This compilation has necessarily been a co-operative enterprise. Primary sponsoring agencies were the American Institute of Biological Sciences, UNESCO, and the U. S. Office of Naval Research. Many sources of published information were used to provide the initial listings, including information collected by UNESCO in preparation for its directory of marine sci- entific institutions. The Department of Natural Sciences of UNESCO has been particularly helpful to the committee by making available all its information on marine scientific institu- tions and by serving as liaison between the committee and some country representatives. Most of the detailed information was contributed by the executive officers of the institutions listed. The writer wishes to express his gratitude to all those who contributed information. The committee chairman. Professor Fage, enlisted the cooperation of special country rep- resentatives who served in a liaison capacity between the committee and executive officers of the institutions to be included in the Directory. In most instances the country representatives have checked the listings to make certain of their accuracy. The committee is especially appre- ciative of the cooperation given by these key individuals. Special acknowledgement is due Dr. S. J. Holt, Chief, Fisheries Branch, FAO, for making both information and extensive checking services of his office available to the committee. Without his assistance, the Directory would be substantially less complete than it is. As in all undertakings of this kind, there is one individual without whose assistance the project would not have proceeded so well. In this case, the committee owes its deepest grati- tude to Mrs. Arthur H. Dole who assisted the editor in all aspects of the work. Special credit is also due Mr. Wayne Clark for his excellent assistance in checking the material and prepar- ing it for the printer. Many persons gave freely of their time to assist with translations and to check the typescript where language other than English was used. To them, also, the com- mittee is deeply grateful. Robert W. Hiatt University of Hawaii December 23, 1962 INTRODUCTION The committee responsible for compiling the material for this Directory placed prime im- portance on its usefulness to research scholars and students of aquatic biology. Accordingly, aside from listing the executive officer and address for each station, the matter of working space for guest scientists, costs for such space, and opportunities to live at or near the labora- tory were investigated and reported. Likewise helpful to prospective guest workers is general information on facilities, including library holdings and vessels, and a knowledge of areas of specialization of the laboratory. These data are included along with a listing, where it was available, of the more easily collected organisms which would be available to persons wish- ing to engage in experimental work using living specimens. Descriptions of institutions are arranged in alphabetical order by country, except in those instances where a parent organization sponsors several laboratories, for example, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service or the Institut Scientifique et Technique des Peches Maritimes, in which cases the laboratories are listed alphabetically under the parent institution which, in turn, is listed alphabetically under a country. Laboratories with distinctive names are indexed separately, as well as cross-indexed with their sponsoring institution. Laboratories without distinctive names are indexed under their sponsoring agency only. All institutions are indexed in English, and usually also indexed in the language of the country involved. Information on institutions of the USSR was secured from the USSR Academy of Sci- ences, UNESCO, and FAO. In no case was the information as complete as from those insti- tutions which returned the committee's questionnaire directly, and in many instances only the name and address of the institution were given. However, for Soviet oceanographic institutes the name and address was supplemented by the date founded, types of scientific activity and titles of publications issued. Very scant information on institutions of the Peoples Republic of China was available through FAO and LINESCO. A section on museums has been included at the back of the Directory. No attempt has been made to treat museums comprehensively, as this would be beyond the scope of this volume. However, many museums are devoted extensively to aquatic biology, mostly from a taxonomic standpoint, but not exclusively so. A few of these institutions for which we had information about aquatic activities are listed in the Directory. The first directory for any extensive political area was on the marine laboratories of Europe, and was published in 1893 by Bashford Dean (Am. Nat., 27:625-37, 697-707). Since that time, several accounts have been written covering stations in particular countries or on a world-wide basis. The more important of these accounts, which now serve as historical mile- stones, have been summarized by H. A. Jack in his "Biological Field Stations of the World" (Chron. Botan., 9:1-73, 1945). Since Jack's directory was issued, the most comprehensive ac- counts of marine biological and fisheries centers have been issued by FAO. To date, the following have been published: "Fishery Research and Educational Institutions in North and South America," 1950; "Directory of Fisheries Institutions, Europe," 1955 (revised 1957) and "Directory of Fisheries Institutions, Asia and Far East," 1957. In 1953, the writer compiled a Directory of Hydrobiological Laboratories and Personnel in North America (University of Hawaii Press) which listed 187 marine and fresh-water sta- tions. The present Directory revises and brings up-to-date the stations of this geographic area. Especially helpful for the present compilation have been the numerous reports of European marine and fresh-water biological laboratories issued by the United States Office of Naval Re- search, London Office, in their publications, "European Scientific Notes" and "Technical Reports, ONRL." Lastly, the writer has made extensive use of his personal knowledge of marine and fresh-water biological laboratories secured during visits to such institutions in many parts of the world.
