| Searching for Forage Fish Eggs | October 13, 2020 - 3:32pm |
I’m a new employee on the MABRRI team, working on the fish forage project! Forage fish lay their nearly microscopic eggs in the sand. Therefore, being part of the project has diverted my thinking to focus on the small and important creatures in food chains that can pretty easily be overlooked. Now when I go to beaches, I think a lot about the sand under my feet. On October 1st, myself and another student were taught how to conduct sampling for forage fish eggs. Sampling has to be done at low tide so that the substrate we’re sampling is exposed and not underwater. |
