The Kristineberg Center for Marine Research and Infrastructure (KCMRI) and Tjärnö Marine Laboratory (TML) - Both stations provide extensive culturing facilities allowing the cultivation of a wide range of aquaculture species. These include small-large tanks and aquaria (5-80L) for experimental use available both indoor and outdoors supplied with through-flow surface and deep saltwater. Ten climate control rooms with running (surface, deep) saltwater allow the control of parameters including air-/water temperature, salinity, light, and pH. Large wet laboratories are available for researchers, including cold rooms and freezer rooms. KCMRI: Eight fully equipped large dry laboratories, DNA lab, chemical lab, microscopy lab. Imaging facilities include Leica M205 C Motorized Stereomicroscope with a Zeiss Axiocam 305 colour connected to the computer with Zeiss Zen microscope imaging software; Leitz DMRBE Fluorescence Light microscope with a Zeiss Axiocam 705 colour connected to the computer with Zeiss Zen microscope imaging software. Two large vessels (Oscar von Sydow, 12m & Alice, 12m), plus 4 smaller boats. Sampling equipment includes boxscores, Grabs, dredges, trawls, plankton nets, ROV for video records and also for picking samples using a robotic arm. Both stations have a DNA lab equipped for DNA extraction and library preps, including control devices for DNA quality checks. Both stations have large wet laboratories for students and/or researchers, including cold rooms and freezer rooms. Both stations offer extensive scientific diving services all year round. The stations have documented expertise in collecting and culturing a wide range of aquaculture species including seaweeds (Ulva spp, Saccharina latissima), Oysters (Ostrea edulis, Magallana gigas), Sea urchins (Echinus esculentus), sea cucumber (Parastichopus tremulus). Many other species are easily accessible in the vicinity of the marine stations, including mussels (Mytilus edulis), lobsters (Homars gammarus, Nephrops norvegicus), shrimps (Pandalus borealis), and a large variety of fish.

Visitors can also access long-term datasets.

1) Long-term temperature and salinity time series (not quality controlled), plankton composition (https://sharkweb.smhi.se).

2) Extensive genomic data for model organisms (https://www.gu.se/cemeb-marin-evolutionsbiologi).

3) Genetic monitoring timeline for the hard bottom since 2018 (www.arms-mbon.eu).

4) Extensive ROV footage available from 1996.

5) Long-term monthly monitoring at 3 stations (BroA, Släggö and Alsbäck) including plankton (abundance, species composition, carbon content), primary productivity, chlorophyll, and physical- (salinity, temperature, turbidity) and chemical parameters (NH4, NO3, NO2, PO4, O2). All data are available at: https://sharkweb.smhi.se/.

6) KCMRI weather station collecting data on air (temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation) and water (sea level, temperature, salinity). All data are available at: https://www.weather.mi.gu.se/kristineberg/en/.

7) Historical species observation data (1890-recent) available through www.sbdi.se and https://artportalen.se/
