β¦ Synopsis
The calanoid copepods, Acartla clausi GIESB~EO]tT and Acartia tonsa DA~zA, are maintained at high densities in continuous culture at t5~ Synthetic sea-water medium is recireulated through filters and a foam tower which limits accumulation of dissolved wastes and various metabolites. The ciliate Euplotes vannus MtfLLER is associated in culture with the copepods, and effectively controls bacterial population and accumulation of algal debris. The copepods graze upon the ciliates as well as upon the phytoflagellates Isochrysis ffalbana P~KE and Rhodomonas baltica KORST~.~r
