PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for culturing algae, efficiently performing culturing by suppressing liquid temperature of a culture container.SOLUTION: This device for culturing algae includes a culture container 2 which stores and flows culture solution and algae M, an aggregate liquid tank 3 which soaks the whole of a plurality of the culture containers 2 in the own liquid and suppresses the liquid temperature in each of the culture containers, and a pump which flows the culture solution and the algae M in each of the culture containers. As a result of this, the liquid temperature in the culture containers is collectively suppressed at a low cost, compared to the case of suppressing the liquid temperature in the culture containers by air conditioning. Furthermore, it is possible to irradiate with light thoroughly the whole of the algae M and promote the photosynthesis of the algae M by irradiating with light the algae M flowing in each of the containers.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明の課題は、養殖容器の液温を抑制して、効率よく養殖を行う藻類の養殖方法及び養殖装置を提供することにある。【解決手段】培養液と藻類Mを収容して流動させる養殖容器2と、複数の当該養殖容器2の全体を自身の液中に浸漬し各養殖容器内の液温を抑制する集合液槽3と、各養殖容器内の培養液と藻類Mを流動させるポンプ等を有することにより、空調等により養殖容器内の液温を抑制する場合に比べて、低コストで養殖容器内の液温を一括して抑制できる。そして、各容器内を流動する藻類Mに光を照射することで、藻類M全体に満遍なく光を照射することが可能となり、藻類Mの光合成を促進させることができる。【選択図】 図4
