Abstract:
1. A system for culture and storage of benthic organisms in an aquatic environment, the system comprising at least two box-shaped containers for storing organisms, releasably interconnected on top of each other and in contact with each other and forming a stack in a height direction, at least two lines attached to the stack and connected to at least an upper portion of the stack, and a suspension device connected with the lines, the containers being interconnected such that individual containers are removable while the rest of the containers in the stack remain rigidly interconnected, the box-shaped containers having two parallel straight lateral edges containing grooves arranged at upper and lower edges so that when the grooves at a container's lower edge are inserted into the grooves at a second container's upper edge, an interconnection is made between the containers and relative movement is enabled between the containers in a direction parallel to the grooves, but locks movement in directions at an angle to the direction parallel to the grooves.
