Maintenance of strains of marine invertebrates

Introduction

This section is based on a short review "Maintenance of laboratory strains of Ciona intestinalis" (in Japanese, Tanpakusitsu Kakusan Kouso vol. 44 No.7 pp903-905 1999). History of strains of marine invertebrates is still short and at the initial stage although history of studies using them is long. However, the situation is changing after the review was published. This site aims to update information of strains of marine invertebrates.

I would appreciate persons who replied to my questions about their strains. Please, contact with me when you have any information, statement, and correction.
