Cynthia UR Th-The That’s all Folks!!!





Seems we just get started, and before you know it; comes the time we’ve got to say so long…
I was reluctant to say the least, about the idea of moving onto another subject after the effort preparing to identify the larva of crustaceans, copepods, and cnidarian at their various stages.  So I set up the new samples and connected the pumps but after a search in each hoping to locate something alive, and after a conversation of time remaining, I have decided to make replacement preparations for an alternate project.
I will no time soon forget gazing through the glass in amazement, and coming across valuable essential information that I will share in this final entry for the next investigator and hope for their success.

Zooplankton of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts: A Guide to Their Identification and ecology.  By William S. Johnson, Dennis M. Allen
High Bridge in Ormond Beach where I found the most life at high tides.
William Johnson also shared on his site the secret to slowing down the plankton species; its clove oil. Clove oil can be purchased at most any pharmacist over the counter, it’s an old toothache remedy. It apparently aestheticizes them temporarily.
