Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Konservierung von Tiefsee-Organismen

(A1) Ein Verfahren zur Konservierung von mindestens einem biologischen Organismus (1) in der Tiefsee umfasst die Schritte Aufnahme des biologischen Organismus (1) mit einer Fangeinrichtung (110) in der Tiefsee, Kuehlung des biologischen Organismus (1) mit einer Kuehleinrichtung (120), wobei der biologische Organismus (1) in einen gefrorenen Zustand ueberfuehrt wird, und Bewegung der Fangeinrichtung (110) mit dem gefrorenen biologischen Organismus (1) in eine Umgebung mit Normaldruck. Es wird auch eine Konservierungsvorrichtung (100) zur Konservierung von mindestens einem biologischen Organismus (1) in der Tiefsee beschrieben.

WO 2010145791 A2 UPAB: 20110106 NOVELTY - The method for conserving a biological deep-sea organism, comprises collecting the biological organism in a deep-sea trapping device (110), cooling the biological organism with a cooling device (120), where the biological organism is put in a frozen condition, moving the frozen biological organism with the trapping device, to a normal-pressure environment, detecting the biological organism in the trapping device and/or supplying a cryoprotectant in the trapping device, and dismantling the biological organism in frozen condition under normal pressure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method for conserving a biological deep-sea organism, comprises collecting the biological organism in a deep-sea trapping device (110), cooling the biological organism with a cooling device (120), where the biological organism is put in a frozen condition, moving the frozen biological organism with the trapping device, to a normal-pressure environment, detecting the biological organism in the trapping device and/or supplying a cryoprotectant in the trapping device, dismantling the biological organism in frozen condition under normal pressure, and thawing or cultivating the biological organism or a part of biological organism under normal pressure or high pressure. The biological organism is frozen together with sea water (2) in a chamber of the trapping device. The biological organism is collected by alluring and/or actively flushing the biological organism in the trapping device. The cooling is carried out by introducing a liquid cooling medium in a hollow interior wall of the trapping device and/or forming a thermal contact of the cooling medium over a thermal bridge with an internal wall of the trapping device. The introduction of the liquid cooling medium is carried out by changing a liquid filling medium from the hollow interior wall of the trapping device. The cooling is enabled to a determined cool advent. The cooling is actuated dependent upon a signal of a sensor arrangement. The movement of the trapping device is carried out through lift that is caused through a transfer of cooling medium in a gaseous condition. The cooling is maintained in the environment with normal pressure. The movement of the frozen biological organism is carried out in the environment with normal pressure. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a conservation device. USE - Method for conserving a biological deep-sea organism useful for the recovery of biological organisms in the deep sea. ADVANTAGE - The method ensures simple and efficient conservation of a biological deep-sea organism.
