The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), founded in 1888, is an international center for research & education in biology & ecology in Woods Hole, MA. An affiliate of the University of Chicago. www.mbl.edu
MBL scientists use skates and their embryos to study skeletal development. By shining a light through egg cases, scientists can watch the entire maturation process.

Sea robins are native to the waters around the MBL.

They have wing-like and leg-like fins, which separate from early in development.

At the MBL, we study sea robins to learn how new forms of locomotion developed.
