contents Biconservative surfaces of Riemannian 3-space forms $N^3(ρ)$, are either constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces or rotational linear Weingarten surfaces verifying the relation $3κ_1+κ_2=0$ between their principal curvatures $κ_1$ and $κ_2$. We characterise the profile curves of the non-CMC biconservative surfaces as the critical curves for a suitable curvature energy. Moreover, using this characterisation, we prove the existence of a discrete biparametric family of closed, i.e. compact without boundary, non-CMC biconservative surfaces in the round 3-sphere, $S^3(ρ)$. However, none of these closed surfaces is embedded in $S^3(ρ)$.
