Abstract
A small-scale experimental larval rearing unit was designed for controlled experiments on marine fish and crustacean larvae. The system uses 3 litre hemispherical, black tanks in sets of three with their own biofilter. Alternatively the whole system can be integrated to allow the use of 18 tanks. The system has successfully been used for work on the greenback flounder ( Rhombosolea tapirina). The main problems have been preventing the formation of surface oil films when using live feeds and solid removal at weaning. However the aims of compactness, low cost and versatility were successfully achieved.
