Andrew J. Davies, Kim S. Last, Karl Attard, Vicki J. Hendrick
Many aquatic organisms rely on the suspension of particulate matter for food or for building materials, yet these conditions are difficult to replicate in laboratory mesocosms. Consequently, husbandry and experimental conditions may often be sub-optimal. The VOrtex Resuspension Tank (VORT) is a simple and reliable [...]
