Anacortes, wa

Low 70s to mid 80s

Performed the anesthesia sop with insulation and ice blocks on treatment and tarp cover on Pretreatment and recovery.  Found lots of brooders in southern pop and none in the other two pops. South sound oysters seem to be very attune to tidal changes. Also temps remained within range using the tarp cover. I think I should add a board or stand to keep the tarp higher over the tubs to keep it out of the water and allow for air flow to keep air temps lower. Also note to self, next week I absolutely have to refill my EtOH, 50 ml falcon tubes, and zipties. Also need a new water proof write in the rain pen as I have lost my only good one.

Klamiche shores, wa

Hi 60s to low 80s

Performed the anesthesia sop with insulation and ice blocks on treat. I also covered the Pretreatment and recovery tubs with a tarp to shade them from direct sun to help moderate the water temps. It worked well along with adding fresh seawater and leftover ice blocks, keeping the trays within 3 degrees of ambient. Also I broke the one day record for number of brooders. All pops had multiple brooders with the northern pop almost being equal to the southern pop in terms of numbers. Dabob pop also performed very well. I think this has to do with last week's neap tide and the much warmer than average air temps.

7 9 2014 Manchester Repro Check

Manchester, WA

Hi 60s to Mid 80s, sunny

Participants: Joe Stevick and Jake Heare

Used the anesthesia SOP with insulation modification and ice blocks in both the treatment and recovery trays. Treatment stayed within 1 degree, while recovery trays stayed within 5 degrees. Found 1 brooder from the Dabob population which was pretty interesting considering that none of the other populations have been spawning.

Mid 60's to High 70s Sunny

Participants: L. Christine Savolainen and Jake Heare

Used the Anesthesia SOP with the insulation and ice blocks on the treatment tubs. Found absolutely no brooders. This site just does not have the conditions necessary for these animals to spawn. It must be due to the colder deep water that comes into the bay off the Sound.
