Fisheries Behavioral Ecology - Rearing Systems
 |
Marine phytoplankton are cultured in this room under bright lights and elevated temperatures (26 degrees Celsius) as part of a food chain for experimental marine fishes. These algae are fed to rotifers, copepods and brine shrimp, which in turn are fed to fish larvae and small juveniles. |
Rotifers and brine shrimp are cultured in this room in seawater at 16 degrees Celsius. These zooplankton are fed to fish larvae and small juveniles. |
 |
 |
Field-collected copepods are cultured in seawater at 18 degrees Celsius for experiments with small fishes. |
Juvenile fishes, including sablefish, walleye pollock and flatfishes, are maintained in 1 m diameter tanks. |
 |
 |
Large tanks (5 m diameter) hold larger fishes, including juvenile and adult sablefish, walleye pollock, and Pacific halibut. |
