METHOD FOR REMOVING MARINE LARVAE FROM ZOOPLANKTON, INCLUDING A PRELIMINARY LARVAE-COUNTING STEP, FOLLOWED BY THE APPLICATION OF ULTRASONIC WAVES TO REMOVE SAME, AND SUBSEQUENTLY ANOTHER STEP COMPRISING THE COUNTING OF THE SURVIVING LARVAE, WITH STATISTICAL PROCESSING OF THE DATA OBTAINED

摘要

The invention relates to a method for removing marine larvae from zooplankton, regarded as an underwater pest found floating in the sea and in bodies of salt water, or adhered to a surface. For this purpose, the water is passed through a duct in order to be collected in a pond or it is handled in the open sea. An initial count of the marine organisms is performed, after which a device emitting ultrasonic waves is used to eliminate said organisms, and subsequently another count is carried out in order to compare the results. The final count is taken when the method is performed and again several days later. The data are compiled manually or through a photographic record, and then stored and processed in an electronic device.
