11.4.3 Spat collectors
Tiles suspended from rafts, used tyres suspended in water, or polyethylene nets are used as the spat collectors. It is necessary to season the spat collecting material by immersing in sea water for atleast 2 weeks. Settling of young spat is successful only if it is seasoned. It is due to the fact that during seasoning other marine organisms attach to the substrate prior to spat fall. The pre coating of similar organisms is considered useful in the spat settlement. |
