Abstract

AbstractKamptozoa, also known as Entoprocta, are small aquatic filter-feeders that belong to the Lophotrochozoan superphylum, which also contains other acoelomate phyla including Annelida, Nemertea, and Mollusca. The study of Kamptozoa is thus of great interest to understand the early Lophotrochozoan evolution. Moreover, many kamptozoans have been shown to possess great regeneration capacities, including whole-body regeneration. In addition, and in particular for colonial cosmopolitan species such as Barentsia benedeni, kamptozoans are highly suitable as laboratory model organisms because of their simple culture, low space requirements, transparency and rapid life cycle. This chapter provides a brief introduction into field collection, culturing techniques for both the animals as well as the algae required for their feeding, fixation, staining, and sequencing.
