Testing and optimization of a cardboard based substrate for shipping dew worms

我们的公司赞助商，国家诱饵，已经开发出替代床上用品运输露水蠕虫（蚯蚓）出售作为诱饵。这种垫料（Ecobedding）主要由研磨纸板组成，比传统使用的泥炭藓更清洁，更环保。在Ecobedding的开发过程中，该公司解决了许多与使用纸板基床上用品相关的初始问题，现在有一个96%的存活率的配方。 4%死亡率的原因尚不清楚，但通常所有死亡都发生在一起包装和运输的一两个集装箱中。生存率必须是100%，以防止破坏捕鱼旅行和生态床上用品是一个有竞争力的畅销产品。

Our company sponsor, Country Bait, has developed alternative bedding for shipping dew worms (Lumbricus terrestris) that are sold as bait. This bedding (Ecobedding), which is primarily composed of ground cardboard, is cleaner and more environmentally-friendly than the peat moss that is traditionally used. During the development of Ecobedding the company has solved many of the initial problems associated with using a cardboard based-bedding and now has a recipe with a 96% survival rate. The cause of the 4% mortality is unknown, but often all the mortality occurs in a one or two out of the containers packaged and shipped together. Survivability must be 100% to prevent spoiled fishing trips and for Eco Bedding to be a competitive salable product.
