Seawater intake

Seawater intake pipe

High-quality seawater for our research is taken from a depth of about 20 m. Robust intake pipe has been installed through a challenging contruction project. The details of the costruction are described here※ (in Japanese).

Realtime monitoring

Temp, Cond, DO, Turb, Chl, and FDOM monitoring using YSI EXO2 at the OMSS outdoor tank area (filtered seawater). pH sensor is NOT installed since it is quite hard to obtain reliable and stable pH data.

Seawater quality test

Seawater quality test has been carried out by the Nansei Environmental Laboratory Co., Ltd.

Parameters: pH, COD, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, Nitrate (NO₃^-), Nitrite (NO₂^-), Phosphate (PO₄^3-), SS, Chromaticity, and Total Coliform
