New Knowledge

Day 18. Mussel Check at 1624

Visual tank inspections looked good for airflow and water clarity. Mussels were still aggregated in their respective bags/ coolers. There is a smell to the tanks, but that has to be waste products since there are no mortalities.

  • Temperature

    • Blue= 11° C

    • Red= 18° C

  • Salinity

    • Blue= 26 psu

    • Red= 27 psu

  • Mortality

    • Blue= 0

    • Red= 0

Old Tricks

  • Reviewed previous day’s work in both proposals
  • Total new words added across both proposals: 941

Questions or Concerns?

  • None.

Tomorrow’s Plan

  • Nothing concrete except for checking the mussels. 1/11 is Sunday.

  • Didn’t complete today, so will move this to next week. Pull all of my pilot observations out of my notebook and into their own table. I will need this information to help guide the continuation of the experimental design for the larger experiment.
