Estandarización del método para el cultivo y mantenimiento de Cirripedios balanus amphitrite para ensayos de evaluación antifouling

Abstract

The search for antifouling agents from marine organisms requires the implementation of assessment techniques to serve as laboratory tests to determine bio-guided whether to continue evaluating substances with tests that require greater efforts in terms of sample size, infrastructure, reagents, among others. To standardize and make this type of testing requires a constant supply of organisms in the bioassay required for each stage, so this document which describes the standardized techniques at the Marine Bioprospection Laboratory INVEMAR (LABBIP) for maintenance breeding of Balanus amphitrite cirripedia, obtaining nauplii cultivation to cypris IV for use in evaluating the toxicity and evidence antifouling effects in laboratory, is very important to continue evaluating the potential of marine organisms Colombian.
