What a great day yesterday!!!

I found a big swarm of krill and was able to collect a bunch for experiments.  Above is a picture of the image from the fishfinder I use to find krill swarms.  The fishfinder sends out a sound, and listens for it to bounce back.  It gives you a map of what is below the boat.  You can see the surface at the top, the sea floor at the bottom (80 meters deep), and a big area of krill in the water column between 10 and 30 meters depth. I towed my net through the swarm several times and came up with a bunch of krill.  I was getting a little worried because I need to pack my research equipment up at the end of the week and get ready to return home.  I hadn’t had much luck collecting krill the past few days, but I now have enough to finish my experiments!
