Marine Pathology Enter Database Enter Marine Pathology Lab Marine Pathology dataIn our screening program, we are conducting essential, novel studies concerning pathogen emergence and disease transmission between aquatic animals in the easternmost Mediterranean Sea. Through the use of cutting-edge technologies, this research is expected to generate original knowledge about marine biology, marine ecology, and public health issues. Subsequently, we expect to have a sound perspective of flagship marine animal health…

The rocky reef habitat of the Israeli coastline is rich and diverse, and abundant in marine resources. It functions as a stable habitat to algae, invertebrates, and fish.We initiated a long-term ecological research (LTER) program on the Mediterranean rocky reefs in 2014 and established a methodical working method since 2015. We started the reefs of Achziv, Nahariya, and Sdot Yam at three different depth levels (10, 25, and 45 meters),…

Long-term ecological research of marine mammals, sharks, rays, and bony fishes The Apex Marine Predator (AMP) Laboratory specializes in long-term ecological research of marine mammals, sharks, rays, and bony fishes such as tunas and swordfish. Our research objectives are all aligned in order to promote the conservation status of those taxa along the coastal shelf of Israel and regionally. Apex predators are important for maintaining the integrity of ecosystems, yet…
