Cultivation of tunicates in Adriatic Sea

Abstract

Mali se broj ljudi bavi uzgojem plaštenjaka (Tunicata). Cilj ovog seminara je promocija i upoznavanje ove egzotične skupine životinja. U Sredozemlju su već zabilježena neka uzgajališta,te na temelju njihovih iskustava, predložen je način uzgoja u Jadranskom moru.Na kraju ćemo vidjeti mogućnosti plaštenjaka za proizvodnju hrane,lijekova te životinjske celuloze.A small number of people are engaged in tunicate farming (Tunicata). The objective of this seminar is to promote and get acquainted with this exotic animal group. Some ponds have already been recorded in the Mediterranean, and according to their experiences,a method of breeding is suggested in the Adriatic Sea. In the end we will see the possibility of producing food, medicine and animal cellulose from tunicates
