How do you grow algae in your hatchery?

If you answer 'Yes' to any of these questions you need to click here for help! Are you still using a batch system, with all the time-consuming repetitive work which this involves, or struggling to maintain sterile conditions economically using filters?

Is output limited by algae production, which you cannot expand for reasons of manpower, space and cost?

Do you have several people working nearly full-time on the phytoplankton, upon which your production depends, whose holidays or sick-leave bring you close to crisis?

Are half your algal cultures unready to be harvested at any one time?

Do you spend a small fortune on heating then pour large quantities of warmed water down the drain?

Do your cultures vary widely in quality, from the time when you can start cropping them until the moment they have to be dumped?

And do they sometimes fail just when you need them most?
