Notes

The water level seemed far below last sampling. Given the rock wall and the lower depths, getting a sample was difficult. Sampling is usually obtained about a foot off shore, but it was impossible to reach that far given the conditions, so it was obtained a few inches from the shore. Also, incubation temperature was below the recommended level, so this observation is likely inaccurate. The temperature issue was not discovered until the incubation period was over.
