We are currently making the market evaluation for a patent from Porto University that refers to a =93*Hyperbaric system for the long-term study and conservation of intermediate and deep-depth aquatic organisms*=94. This new system consists on a hyperbaric chamber, dimensioned according to specifications, working on open-circuit. The major advantages of this new system, when comparing to others, are: - Competitive price; - Deep depth simulation conditions; - Wide range of working pressure and volume; - Control of the necessary environmental conditions (possibility of changing the necessary parameters according to the research needs); - Preservation of aquatic organisms for long periods of time; - Possibility to feed the aquatic organisms inside the chamber; We would kindly like to ask for 10 minutes of your time to answer to the following survey: * http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=3DOzmnbNUqLl2eZ_2bILccWuLA_3d_3d* (Please click on the link above) We would also like to inform you that we have already one system working a= t CIMAR in Porto, Portugal. The existing pressurizing system was designed to study seawater fish and it enabled the automatic simulation of vertical migrations with the capacity to maintain them for long periods under stable water parameters, allowing to perform studies on the physiological effects of cyclic hydrostatic changes. We appreciate very much If you can send this email to your professional contacts or collegues that you think that can also fill in this survey, helping us making this market study the most correct one. Thanks in advance= !
