Rotation Schedule

Cages will be rotated on the following schedule

Cage # month 1 month 2 month 3 month 4
1 3/4 full 3/4 full
2 full 3/4 full 3/4
3 3/4 full 3/4 full
4 full 3/4 full 3/4
5 3/4 full 3/4 full
6 full 3/4 full 3/4
 

My system for each month’s rotation will be the following:

Week 0: Set up the cages.
Week 1-3: Do nothing to cages. Allow goby-shrimp pairs to come or leave (or be eaten).
Week 4: Take data measurements in cages (2 a day) and then reconfigure cages per the next month’s cage setup.
