A 500 sq ft aquarium room is currently outfitted with replicate 860 gallon tanks for holding specimens in either a freshwater or saltwater recirculating system.
The Elasmobranch Research Laboratory maintains sharks and rays in large, flow through seawater tanks at the FAU Marine Laboratory located at the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex in Boca Raton.
A pair of dedicated electrophysiology laboratories are located adjacent to the indoor holding tanks within the FAU Marine Laboratory. The physiology labs are used to remotely monitor activity in the tanks, as well as to study the sensory capabilities of sharks and rays. The labs are video linked to the FAU Boca Raton campus.
