Aquatic Diagnostic Laboratory
at Roger Williams Univeristy
About the Aquatic Diagnostic Laboratory
With a focus on diseases of aquatic animals (finfish and shellfish), the laboratory provides disease diagnostic services to the aquaculture industry in the region. Roger Williams University undergraduate students receive training in aquatic animal health diagnostic and care methods by using a combination of pathological and molecular approaches.
Our Mission
The goal is to support aquaculture and associated aquatic animal industries by providing diagnostic services to the aquaculture industry, extension agents and regulators both in Rhode Island and other northeastern states.
The ADL is part of the Center for Economic and Environmental Development (CEED) at Roger Williams University. CEED supports the region’s marine and aquaculture industries through integrated research, education, outreach, and specialized services. CEED personnel conduct both basic and applied research to preserve the health of coastal and ocean ecosystems while advancing economic growth, human health, and social equity.
