Kiel Marine Organism Culture Centre

The Kiel Marine Organism Culture Centre (KIMOCC) provides a platform that develops, implements and publishes state-of-the-art marine organism culture methods.

KIMOCC serves marine research in Kiel by supporting complex experiments in the framework of the main topics of the .

The Kiel Marine Organism Culture Centre (KIMOCC) provides advanced culturing techniques for experiments with marine organisms like e.g. deep-sea bivalves, ctenophores, microalgae or cnidaria (pictures on the left by Hiebenthal, Jaspers, Schulz and Weiland-Br盲uer).
