Care to share your source with the class ??I appreciate it! But I am looking for plankton tows in open ocean that includes high zooplankton diversity (zooplankton being animals like larval crustaceans, copepods, larval anemones, so on), and already have a source
https://gulfofme.com/ ! The website itself doesn’t seem to have correct quantity descriptions for some listings (I’m guessing that buying one baltic isopod for $50 will not get you literally 1 isopod lol). Pretty sure they do most of their business outside of the site, but they seem pretty responsive over email! Going to leave a review here once I buy the plankton.Care to share your source with the class ??
Too neat. The owner of that company was part of article that Maine Corparate Extension did on sustainable mariculture of Red Ogo. Everything they have is cold water culture. The Irish Kelp taste like bacon.https://gulfofme.com/ !

Oh awesome! Definitely boosts my confidence in buying from them, I wasn’t familiar with the company.Too neat.

I get liquid kelp seaweed concentrate from a competitor.
Interesting!The goal with the plankton is unsanitized wild cultures, with emphasis on zooplankton! Not as interested in studying phytoplankton atm, though I’m sure there will be some in the plankton tow. I don’t want to study any plankton species in particular, instead I’m looking to observe the biodiversity and dynamics between different species of wild marine plankton (including fauna like parasites and ‘pests’).
I wouldn’t start with a stocked invert tank. Instead the idea is that the invertebrates would come from larval plankton establishing itself in the enclosure, so I will not be adding any hand picked invertebrates to the ecosphere! The inhabitants of the ecosphere will be decided by whichever species thrive most.
