Observations Week Two

Observations: Week Two
  • Far More movement along the bottom that any other region of the microaquarium. This activity seems to diminish as I started going towards the top of the sample. 
  • Many circular-moving protozoa or bacteria that move fairly quickly. 
    • These circular-moving organisms were unicellular. 
Cyclops - younger in age with less development than more mature cyclops. (Rainis and Russell 1996)

  • These cyclops would sit for a few moments before flying out of sight of the microscope. 

Many gastrotrichs that move in an acordian like movement and seem to propel themselves extremely quickly throughout the sample. 

Most of the organisms seen were not chlorophyll green and appeared to be white or see through besides certain parts of the organisms
