    Adecuación del laboratorio de cultivo de microalgas y alimento vivo de la escuela de Acuicultura y Pesquería de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí
    (Universidad Técnica de Manabí, 2019) Parrales Mera, María Jesenia ; Idrovo, Marjorie
    The adequacy of the microalgae and live food laboratory of the School of Aquaculture and Fisheries of the Technical University of Manabí was carried out between the months of August 2018 and January 2019. The design of the project consists of a total area of 61.6 m2 (8.80 m wide x 7 m long) divided into three sections: strain maintenance area, washing area and autoclaving area, separated by aluminum and glass panels. The area of maintenance of strains was adapted to obtain approximately 60 to 75 L / day of algae (240 L in a 15-day run) starting from 20 ml test tubes to 15 L covers. Installed: 32 m2 of ceramics on the floor and walls up to the height of 1.67 m, a system of shelves of aluminum and glass of 3 levels (height = 1.67 m), the lighting system (25 double fluorescent lamps), the aeration system and a cooling system with a Split type CHIGO air conditioner of 24,000 BTU. The economic study of the project gave a total value of $ 4,031.32, for the adaptation of the microalgae and live food laboratory To demonstrate the functioning of the system, a 15-day pilot test was carried out, planting 2 types of microalgae Chaetoceros sp and Thalassiosira sp (1:3) (strains provided by the Microalgae Cultivation laboratory of the Higher Technological Institute "Luis Arboleda Martínez", Jaramijó - Manta), obtaining 240 L of algae production in said run. This project will help reinforce the theoretical knowledge in the field of practice to students of the School.
