Size of goby and shrimp

The size of gobies and shrimp will be collected during the density surveys. To better judge the size of gobies, samplers will carry around with them small models, until they become good at determining sizes. Sizes will be measured to the nearest 1 cm.

This will allow for the determination of the frequency of certain size classes throughout the year. It will also be possible to correlate the sizes of shrimp and gobies. Determining the regression between the two will allow for statistical analysis.
