Raising Berghia Nudibranch Experiment

[William Bruckmann]

I collected 2 spirals of Berghia eggs and let one develop in a beaker at room temp (approx73°F) and the other heated to 80°.
While the results are not surprising, they do document a way to get to the beginning of that 10-14 day developmental cycle rather then the end. You can see different stages of that cycle on my you tube channel-The Berghia Farm

Great videos

Thanks! I have had a horrendous hatch rate and am trying to get to the bottom of it. So far so good.

Awesome, if you dont mind me asking - how are you getting those shots?

 

[William Bruckmann]

Pipette the spirals to a slide, and then view them with a Amscope microscope with a MD130 camera USB’ed to my macbook.
Thanks!
You cam check out “The Berghia Farm” for more shots at different stages…
