A pressurising system for long-term study of marine or freshwater organisms enabling the simulation of cyclic vertical migrations

A computer-controlled pressurising system enabling large aquatic organisms like marine fishes to be maintained for long periods is described. The paper presents a system that is capable not only of maintaining constant hydrostatic pressures but also of producing any desired cyclic variations of that...
