Objetive:

Conduct basic research básica on molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of aquatic organisms in order to achieve their domestication for comercial cultivation and/or restockings of natural population.

Mission:

Contribute to the welfare of society through scientific research, technological innovation and development of human resource, in biological conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.

Vision:

Constantly seek for quality and excellence in order to prevail as a reference group, national and internationally, in research on physiological and ecological aspects of aquatic organisms.
