End of Summer Field Work

Courtney

I just broke down my second field experiment.  This experiment was set up the same way as the one in May. Just a quick reminder, Gracilaria was threaded through ropes and the ropes were attached to PVC poles and placed back in the field for 4 weeks.  During break down, we brought all the Gracilaria into the lab and removed all of the animals and plants that were living on it by hand, and then we swabbed the Gracilaria with a giant cue tip for bacteria!  Now, I am counting and identifying all of the animals that we found.
