The invention discloses a method for storing mature egg
mass of
balanus reticulatus utinomi. The method comprises collecting mature-
gonad individuals of the
balanus reticulatus utinomi, selecting intact individuals, using sea water to clean the individuals, then placing the individuals in the environment at 4-6 DEG C, and performing
refrigeration storage. The method for storing the mature egg
mass of the
balanus reticulatus utinomi is simple, convenient and practical, the storing standby time of the mature egg
mass of the balanus reticulatus utinomi is effectively prolonged on the premise that hatched nauplius can grow and develop normally, the storing time of the mature egg mass of the balanus reticulatus utinomi can be over 24h, the problems that the mature egg mass of the balanus reticulatus utinomi is difficult to store and reserve and fresh samples need collecting prior to
larva cultivation each time are solved, the gap is the technical field is filled, times and costs of field sampling operation are reduced, sample
utilization rate is improved, development of
larva cultivation work is facilitated, a foundation is laid for development of large-scale balanus
larva cultivation work, and the method has wide application prospect in the fields of antifouling agent screening,
coating testing, adhesion mechanism study and
environmental toxicology research and the like.
