McDonald Incubation Bottle

  • Main function:
    Allows fish egg incubation with a continuous upward water flow that keeps the eggs gently in motion, preventing clumping and ensuring high embryo survival.

  • Design:

    • Conical shape: the narrow bottom promotes a steady and uniform water flow.

    • Materials: typically glass or clear plastic for easy monitoring.

    • Water inlet at the bottom and overflow outlet at the top.

  • Advantages:

    • Uniform incubation with optimal oxygenation.

    • Reduces risk of fungus growth and embryo mortality.

    • Easy to clean and monitor.

  • Applications:

    • Incubation of salmonid eggs (trout, salmon).

    • Adaptable to other species requiring gentle upward water flow.
