Kurzfassung

Einige Verbesserungen für die Konstruktion eines rezirkulierenden Seewassersystems (vgl.Zillioux 1969), das sich für die Aufzucht planktonischer Copepoden eignet, werden beschrieben. Mehrere Kulturen können in einem einzigen rezirkulierendem System getrennt voneinander gehalten werden. Als methodische Neuerungen wurden ein dreistufiger Sedimentierbehälter sowie ein besonderes Absaugverfahren beim Durchschäumen des Seewassers (wodurch eine zu starke Anreicherung an gelösten organischen Substanzen verhindert wird) eingeführt.Acartia clausi undA. tonsa konnten über 1 1/1 Jahre mit Hilfe dieses Systems in großer Individuenzahl gezüchtet werden.

Summary

1. Construction modifications which improve the efficiency and broaden the versatility of a recirculating culture system for planktonic copepods are described.

2. Folin protein, dissolved organic carbon and particle content have been measured to determine relative efficiencies of two foam towers under different conditions.

3. A combined settling and filtration tank has been designed to facilitate flow-through adaptation of the culture system.
