Abstract
Inexpensive hatching and incubation jars have been constructed in the past from polyvinyl chloride fittings or plastic bottles. Most cost less than $50 each, but contain numerous parts. The incubation jar described in this report was easy to assemble, recyclable, and cost about US$2.50. It took about 10 min to construct and 24 h for the sealant to cure before use, Eggs of common carp Cyprinus carpio in quantities of 2, 000–80, 000 were hatched in these jars by adjusting water flow. The small size (2.3-L volume) provided separation of many treatments in a confined area. © by the American Fisheries Society 1997.
