Description 37-41
A new handy plankton wheel was devised for
use on-board a ship. Its efficacy to generate aggregates was tested on land
using coastal waters. The device successfully generated aggregates of sizes
varying up to 11.3 mm2 within eleven days. During an on-board
experiment with oceanic water within approximately the same time period, no
visible aggregates were observed but the concentration of transparent
exopolymeric particles (TEPs) increased from 14.4 to 547.8 mg eq Alginic Acid L-1
indicating successful production of aggregate precursors and requirement of
longer incubation periods for the production of visible aggregates with oceanic
waters.
