Aquario Vasco da Gama-Estaflo de Biologia 

 Maritima ('37) 



History or origin: Built in 1898 as a public Aquarium 

 for the series of ceremonies in commemoration of 

 the fourth centenary of the voyage of Vasco da 

 Gama to India. After the ceremonies, the 

 building was delivered to the State (Ministry of 

 Marine, to whom is assigned the administration 

 of Navigation and Fisheries). Later on, about 

 1908, the "Sociedade Portuguesa de Ciencias 

 Naturals," whose aim is the promotion of research 

 in scientific natural history, took charge of the 

 building in order to establish in it a marine bio- 

 logical station. After many difficulties, owing to 

 shortage of funds and to the Great War, the 

 Ministry of Marine again took charge of the sta- 

 tion and it was officially organized (May, 1919) 

 as an independent scientific institution for the 

 study of the sea, mainly connected with fisheries. 



Location: Dafundo, near Lisbon, about 10 km

 Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of 

 Marine. Autonomous administration by a board 

 formed by an officer of the Navy, as President, 

 appointed by the Ministry, the Director and 

 Naturalist of the Station, and a secretary.
