Abstract

An open aquarium system in which water temperatures can be manipulated and controlled close to freezing point has been constructed. Technical details and the results of a working trial lasting six weeks are reported. The equipment was constructed in order to be able to simulate river water temperatures, and changes in these due to hydroelectrical development in Arctic regions. The incubation of Atlantic salmon eggs was of particular interest. Other applications include growth studies and nutritional physiology of aquatic organisms at low temperatures. The system can be used with both freshwater and seawater.
