McDonald - Model MC-I -Incubation Vessel for Approx. 40,000 Trout Eggs (J30)

The McDonald incubator is used for the artificial and controlled incubation of fish eggs (e.g., for trout, salmon, perch, catfish, tilapia, and many other fish species). It mimics natural incubation conditions, with the fill level and water flow rate being the directly adjustable parameters. Water temperature and other water quality parameters are controlled indirectly via the water supply. The McDonald incubator can be operated in both continuous and recirculating modes. The fish water, supplied from the top, exits at the bottom in the area of the semicircular base, rises in the cylindrical section of the container, and flows out via the overflow located in the upper section. The unique shape of the container ensures that the eggs are kept in constant motion and do not stick together.
