Project Details
Description
The main aim of the project i to develop methodologies to to produce seed of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis.
For the Marin Biogas project to continously produce ascidians, a number of areas of investigation was identified: Develop protocols to a) ensure provisioning of sexually mature and ripe Ciona; b) collection of fertilized eggs of C. intestinalis; c) settling C. intestinalis in the laboratory to preferred material; d) for optimal outplanting procedure; e) for maintaining stock culture of C. intestinalis.
In addition, optimizing results obtained during development of protocols to create a smooth and effective workflow from larval production and settlement to field grow-out and survival.
