Abstract
A technical device generating a constant and directed current within a seal ed respiration chamber is described. It does not involve any external pumps or tubing. This system is easy to handle, and improved the maintenance of rheotactic pelagic species like the Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegi ca, Crustacea) or small fishes (Gasterosteus aculeatus) under experimental conditions.
