MAT Rotifers Culture Systems

The MAT-KULING Rotifer Culture System gives a marine hatchery three independent 17 L culture vessels on one table-mounted skid, each aerated to keep the culture mixed and micro-algae feed available to the rotifers. Camlock valves make harvesting and draining quick, and the same hardware suits batch, semi-continuous or continuous culture. The air supply blower is external and not included.

Product Information

Key Features

  • Three dedicated rotifer culture vessels on a shared table frame, stable underfoot and easy to reach for daily work
  • Each vessel takes its own aeration line, mixing the culture and keeping micro-algae feed within reach of the rotifers
  • Suits all three working methods — batch, semi-continuous and continuous culture — without changing the hardware
  • Camlock valve on every vessel for collecting livestock and for draining at the end of a run
  • Running three vessels in rotation keeps a back-up culture going, so one crash does not stop live feed supply
  • Air supply blower sits outside the skid, so the system connects to the air service you already run
  • Sizing: 17 L per vessel and 51 L of culture volume across the skid — daily harvest depends on the density and culture method you run, which Fresh By Design will work through with you

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I size a rotifer culture system?
Work back from your daily rotifer demand and target density — the skid gives 51 L of culture volume in three 17 L vessels, and harvest rate follows the density and culture method you run.
How is this different from the MAT Artemia and Copepods systems?
This skid cultures rotifers in three 17 L vessels; the artemia skid hatches and enriches cysts in four 18.5 L vessels, and the copepod skid is one 420 L vessel over a 450 L sump.
Which culture methods does it support?
Batch, semi-continuous and continuous culture, all with the same vessels and the same harvesting arrangement.
Is the air blower included?
No — the air supply blower is external to the skid and is not included; each vessel connects to your own air service.
How are rotifers harvested?
Through the camlock valve on each vessel, which is also used to drain that vessel for cleaning.
Why three vessels rather than one large tank?
Separate vessels let you stagger cultures and hold a back-up running, so a single culture crash does not stop live feed supply to the larval tanks.
What is the total culture volume?
51 L across the skid, made up of three 17 L vessels mounted on a common table.
