Recirculating System Culture Methods for Marine Organisms

  • Chapter
Culture of Marine Invertebrate Animals

  • 832 Accesses

Abstract

The cultivation of marine organisms in recirculating systems (RS) offers several advantages to the investigator (Sandt, 1968):

  1. 1.

    RS are independent of the effects of nature (storms, floods, etc.) and man (pollution)

  2. 2.

    RS can be established away from the sea

  3. 3.

    RS offer control of various environmental parameters, such as salinity, temperature, photoperiod

  4. 4.

    RS are easily monitored

  5. 5.

    RS are convenient to sample

  6. 6.

    RS offer the availability of continuous visual observation

  7. 7.

    Different systems can be simultaneously monitored

  8. 8.

    The biota can be preferentially selected without danger of contamination of planktonic forms
