Resumen
SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION It makes it possible to extract|collect a lot of pharmaceutical substances from adhesion marine organism. PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED This invention relates to culture|cultivation of adhesion marine organism. Adhesion marine organism is a supply source of many sea pharmaceutical substances. This invention provides the manufacturing method of such a sea pharmaceutical substance, This method arrange|positions a several base|substrate -like substance in seawater, The said living organism|raw_food is proliferated on the base|substrate of these some, The propagated living organism|raw_food is collected, Subsequently, it is the method of including extracting a pharmaceutical substance from the collected living organism|raw_food.
Reivindicaciones
1. A method of farming a sessile marine organism which isEcteinascidia turbinata intended for extraction of a marine pharmaceutical which is an ecteinascidin compound, which method comprises positioning a plurality of like substrates in sea water, growing the organism on the plurality of substrates, and harvesting the grown organism. 2. A method according to claim 1, which method comprises positioning a plurality of like substrates in sea water, allowing larvae from a colony of the organism to seed the substrates, growing the organism on the plurality of substrates, and harvesting the grown organism. 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein the substrates are placed adjacent the colony. 4. A method according to claim 2, wherein at least one collector comprising a support with substrates is placed adjacent the colony to collect larvae. 5. A method according to claim 4, wherein the collector is transferred to another site for growth of the organism. 6. A method according to claim 1, which method comprises positioning a plurality of like substrates in sea water, transplanting the organism onto the substrates, growing the organism on the plurality of substrates, and harvesting the growth organism. 7. A method according to claim 6, wherein individual organisms are transplanted onto the substrates. 8. A method according to claim 6, wherein fragments of organisms are transplanted onto the substrates. 9. A method according to any of claims 6 to 8, wherein the substrates are provided by cables, ropes, meshes, nets, rods, planks, cages, and baskets for direct fixing of the organism. 10. A method according to any of claims 6 to 9, wherein submerged structures comprising the substrates are maintained between bottom anchorage devices and flotation devices. 11. A method according to any of claims 6 to 9, wherein submerged structures comprising the substrates are maintained between sides of a natural or artificial basin. 12. A method according to claim 1, which method comprises growingEcteinascidia turbinata by transplanting fragments of colonies of the organism to a substrate using as substrate and support a device comprising of lengths of an approximately 0.5 to 4m wide plastic mesh with holes between 2 and 8cm kept entirely submerged by anchorage to the bottom of a shallow coastal lagoon and held approximately vertically by flotation devices. 13. A method according to claim 1, which method comprises capturingEcteinascidia turbinata larvae onto 0.2-2m lengths of ropes or wooden rods using a device comprising of a floating frame, approximately 1-2m by 3-6m with a shade onto which the ropes or wooden rods are affixed and maintained horizontally or vertically submerged in the water in proximity to colonies of the organism until larvae attach to them so that adult colonies can later be grown from these ropes or rods so seeded. 14. A method according to claim 1, which method comprises growingEcteinascidia turbinata by implanting fragments of colonies onto 0.2-2m lengths of ropes or wooden rods using a device comprising of a floating frame, approximately 1-2m by 3-6 m with a shade from which the ropes or wooden rods with attached colonies can hang vertically submerged in water for growth of the organism. 15. A method of producing a marine pharmaceutical which is an ecteinascidin compound by extraction from a sessile marine organism which isEcteinascidia turbinata , which comprises a method according to any preceding claim and further extracting the pharmaceutical from the harvested organism.
