Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A starvation and then feeding method was developed to produce about 100% marketable sea urchins, Paracentrotus lividus, in 3 1/2 months. This method is needed because the reproduction cycle is desynchronized in the conditions imposed during the somatic growth stage in land-based closed systems. The major advantages of starving the animals are resetting the reproductive cycle to the spent stage (gonads almost devoid of sexual cells) and stressing the individuals so that they mobilize and restore the nutritive phagocytes, filling them with nutrients. Batches of sea urchins starved 2 months beforehand were fed ad libitum for 45 days with enriched food under eight combinations of four temperatures (12 degrees C, 16 degrees C, 20 degrees C and 24 degrees C) and two photoperiods (9 and 17 h daylight). In our system, the best combination was 24 degrees C and 9 h daylight for growth as well as for gonad quality. The gonadal indices obtained (in dry weight) were over 9% at 16 degrees C and over 12% at 24 degrees C, which are better than what is found in the field for this population. |
