Ballan Wrasse Egg Collection 20-2-08wma.wmv

The Deep is working with a Scottish marine laboratory to find out if there is an alternative to the chemicals used to treat sea lice on farmed salmon and cod which threaten their health. Ballan Wrasse hatched and reared from eggs donated by The Deep will co-habit with farmed fish. The juvenile wrasse feed on the live and will hopefully provide an excellent method of ethical and sustainable pest control. This video shows the collection of the eggs in The Deep's Northern Seas tank. For full details of this story go to http://www.thedeep.co.uk/pressnmedia.php

ok, thats interesting, but in this way Ballan's eggs get a lot of dirt aherents to their jelly's cover and its not good for their subsequent development. I've worked in Norway with reproducing, juveniles rearing and so on. I'd like to get in to the project in UK, I'am quite experienced with "ballan farming"
