Culture of Marine Invertebrate Animals : Proceedings - 1st Conference on Culture of Marine Invertebrate Animals Greenport (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1975)

This volume is based on prec'entations at the conference on Culture of Marine Invertebrate Animals which was held in Green port, New York in October, 1972.

The conference was sponsored by the Middle Atlantic Natural Sciences Council, Inc., a non profit educational corporation, together with the Marine Science Centers of Adelphi University, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Long Island University, Suffolk County Community College, and the Shelter Island Oyster Company.

The purpose of the conference was to provide a needed ex change of knowledge among scientists of various specialties whose information would be invaluable to others confronted with similar problems, even with different marine animals.

Part I considers supportive techniques -- general isolation and culture methods, problems of disease and feeding.

Specific techniques employed in the culture of a wide range of invertebrate organisms is covered in Part II.

We want to thank the contributors for their cooperation in preparing the manuscripts based on their conference presentations.
