Laboratory B, the center tank room (170 square feet), is some- 

 what limited as to the number and sizes of tanks by the relatively short (15 

 feet) trough space. It is used primarily for experiments requiring small 

 aquaria and also to house monitoring and other equipment.

The west room (Laboratory C), containing the same space as Lab- 

 oratory A, is filled to capacity with redwood tanks ranging in size from 100 to 

 500 gallons. We plan to place 30-gallon glass aquaria on shelving over the red- 

 wood tanks. A 5-hp. compressor, located in the equipment room between Lab- 

 oratories B and C, supplies air to the three tank rooms. The food preparation 

 room, which is situated in the southwest corner of the building, contains the 

 necessary mixing, cold storage, disposal, etc., facilities for preparing the 

 variety of diets to condition fish and shrimp for experiments.
