Il laboratorio di Biologia Marina è dotato di una cappa chimica, di sette stereomicroscopi, di un microscopio ottico e di una bilancia analitica. Sono inoltre presenti due sistemi di acquisizione di immagini collegati al microscopio ottico e ad uno degli stereomicroscopi. Le attività svolte sono prevalentemente correlate all’analisi delle comunità macrozoobentoniche di fondo mobile e duro. In particolare, all’interno del laboratorio vengono effettuate analisi di sorting ed identificazione al più basso livello tassonomico possibile degli organismi bentonici isolati nel corso di campagne oceanografiche, mediante l’impiego delle più aggiornate chiavi dicotomiche. I dati ottenuti vengono utilizzati per definire la struttura e le variazioni delle comunità macrozoobentoniche, anche attraverso l’utilizzo di bioindicatori per la valutazione dello stato ambientale degli ecosistemi marini. Tali attività vengono applicate a progetti di ricerca dedicati allo studio di impatti antropici derivanti da attività quali la movimentazione e lo sversamento di sedimenti derivanti da dragaggi portuali, l’installazione di strutture antropiche (piattaforme offshore, condotte sottomarine) e di barriere artificiali. L’analisi tassonomica delle comunità bentoniche viene inoltre utilizzata per la segnalazione e descrizione di specie nuove, l’individuazione di specie aliene e lo studio funzionale della comunità bentonica.
