Learning all about marine macro #inverts and eating some yummy local seafood!

My little Alona sp. friend decided to be a good photography subject and sit still for a short video!

Tis the season... for an EXO PARTY!
#BallastWater research and @DrPlanktonguy 's #LowerTrophic research use the same sensors so we collaborate and calibrate all at once!

Now that the gift has been given, I can share my latest #zooplankton cross-stitch project.
Thrilled how it turned out!
Happy little Ceriodaphnia ❤
