Just a quick post to show that we now have two tanks for swimming our Pleurobrachia! The first one will generate turbulence that is similar to their natural marine environment; the second one will generate a gentle circular flow. We'll use these tanks to test the effect of both turbulence and shear on ctenophore agility and biomechanics!
