Individual housing for Lytechinus pictus. (A) Blueprints for individual housing units for animals constructed from 1/8″ plexiglass. (B) Each tray of housing units has handles made of rubber tubing attached with zip ties. (C) The trays rest inside a flooded water table that is filled by a chilled sea water line and flows out a pipe at the end of the table. To clean, trays are removed from the water and kelp waste is flushed out, then the table is drained and hosed down before re-flooding and placing the trays back. Inset shows an adult animal inside one of the compartments of the tray.
