The activities of this laboratory centre around
1) Photosynthetic carbon acquisition
mechanisms in marine macrophytes (algae and
seagrasses), 2) Novel methods for in situ
underwater measurements of photosynthesis and 3)
Photosymbiotic relationships in marine
invertebrates (corals and sponges). While some
work is done in the TAU laboratory, we also have
access to a laboratory at IUI (Eilat) and to a
research ship (see the site www.ecoocean.com).
