1. Plankton Culture Manual - Sixth Edition
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Over the twenty years of publicationt the purpose of our manual is to provide aquarists, aquaculturists and students with techniques and confidence to culture plankton for use as live foods for aquatic animals. The approach we have taken is to provide methods on a variety of scales ranging from home hobbyists to large commercial operations. The Plankton Culture Manual can also be used as a companion manual for another manual by Frank Hoff, Conditioning, Spawning and Rearing of Fish With Emphasis on Marine Clownfish. The Plankton Culture Manual provides the basis and principles of live food culture while the companion book provides theory and practice of conditioning, spawning and utilization of live feeds in larval rearing, juvenile growout, and adult broodstock fish. Methods of plankton culture described here are the result of cumulative experiences during our many years in aquaculture mixed with numerous published works and direct communication from aquaculture scientists and hobbyists throughout the world. Using advanced computer data bases and the internet of scientific and hobbyist literature, we have culled out significant papers that have made substantial contributions in live food culture. Literature citations in this manual provide readers access to a vast selection of scientific and hobby publications that demonstrate the dynamic changes occurring in larviculture. Through the sixth editions of this manual, we have improved, clarified, and provided more detail about the methods used. In addition, we have provided more rationale of why certain methods are preferred over others. Ultimately we hope this book provides readers with the guidance they need to provide live food in the larviculture of aquatic animals for fun and profit. Our hope is that this useful manual will continue to be improved and grow in the years to follow. Happy culturing!2. Plankton Culture Manual - Sixth Edition by Frank H. Hoff (2007-02-20)

Description
This listing is for one 12" Sieve Plankton Collector of the micron size of your choice. This aquarium stackable sieve fits over the lip of a 5 gallon bucket. As you can see in the pictures, it has a lip to fit snugly and secure, right on top of the pail. Bucket in pics not included. Stackable. Sieve has many uses in aquaculture : Culturing Zooplankton, Rotifers, Copepods, Brine shrimp, rinsing corals, cleaning live rock, catching baby fish fry,and many more uses. Very convenient. Stackable. We have decided to offer these sieves to the public for the first time. We have received numerous requests for them. It seems that sieves of this size are hard to find for the hobbyist. When you do find similar sieves, they are usually of poorer quality or they are too expensive. These sieves are made with PVC frame and laboratory grade polyester mesh fabric. They will hold up under rigorous use in saltwater and chemicals. Can be cleaned disinfected with bleach. We have been using them for years in our Aquaculture Nursery Farms laboratory. Stackable: For multi-culture harvesting, or for separating different sized individuals from the same culture batch at one time, these also come in handy if you need to get a nice, clean end product to minimize the pollutants entering your aquarium. When you stack these sieves,(smallest micron on the bottom and so on) the 53- 120 -250 stack filters out all the larger impurities that you might have in your culture water. So let's say you are harvesting rotifers. All the debris that is floating around in the culture will get caught by the first two sieves in line ( 250 mic and 120 mic). So you end up with cleaner rotifers to feed your animals.4. About Marine Plankton and Culture Methods
Description
Phytoplankton are micro- organisms which does not have any low mortuary oxygen floating water surface and move with water current. Phytoplankton are photosynthetic autotrophic which constitute the primary producers tropic level of oceanic water. They very high productivity and key of whole marine ecosystem .The phytoplankton includes all the plant-like organisms plant-like in the sense that they are autotrophic and contribute directly to the food available in the surface waters by building up their protoplasm and food reserves directly from carbon dioxide and salts in solution in the sea. Zooplanktons are planktonic free-floating animals in fresh and marine aquatic systems, and are the major consumers of the organisms in the microbial food web. This book help to study the Plankton Culture and identification methods.5. AQUACULTURE NURSERY FARMS 150 um Micron Sieve. Parvo Copepods. Rotifers Stackable Cloth Mesh Sieves.

They will hold up under rigorous use in saltwater, UV exposure and immersion in chemicals like bleach chlorine. We have been using them for years in our Aquaculture Nursery Farms laboratory.6. Plankton Regulation Dynamics: Experiments and Models in Rotifer Continuous Cultures (Ecological Studies)
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Continuous cultures, i.e. chemostats with an continuous dilution rate, are model ecosystems for the study of general regulation principles in plankton communities. Further to an introduction, general continuous culture methods and especially the characteristics of rotifer continuousculture systems are presented. Sections on metabolism and energetics in chemostats, growth models, competition and predator-prey interactions, as well as the application of rotifer continuous cultures to ecotoxicology and their use in aquaculture are included.7. Marine Plankton: Collection, Identification, Culture, Taxonomy of Marine Plankton
Description

Intended for starting algae phyoplankton cultures. Great for Feeding Reef Tank Aquarium and copepod Cultures Rotifer Cultures also. This strain is one of the best live feed sources for all kinds of zooplankton cultures like different kinds of copepods, rotifers, amphipods. It is also used for the culture of mollusks like Croacia clams, and other saltwater clams and oysters. Nanno is used for raising corals and filter feeding organisms. Combined with live zooplankton like rotifers and copepods these are the best natural live food for corals and anemones. Fish hatcheries and nurseries use this micro algae to feed live zooplankton like rotifers and copepods so they will have the proper nutrition to use the zooplankton for raising the fish larvae and fry. Benefits: If you follow the directions for feeding this live product to your saltwater aquarium, after about a month, you will notice a growth explosion in your microfauna: such as, micro starfish, micro feather dusters, baby snails, baby clams, all your live zooplanktons, like copepods, amphipods, etc. will start reproducing like never before. Before they would have been subsiding on detritus in your tank, which is a minimal existence for them, you will now witness some of the true glories of the ocean's micro animals when they have their natural live nutrition.9.
