Experiment underway: 9 USDA oyster families tested for heat stress in 12-well plates at 36°C; mortality checks planned after 24 hours, with careful labeling and replication to track individual families. #Oysters #HeatStress #USDA #MarineScience #Aquacult… ift.tt/v2KqMQN

Oysters showed heat stress: 38C at high salinity killed some; 11C groups all survived. Lower the “high” temperature next time to avoid mortality and keep replicates. #Oysters #Resazurin #Aquaculture #MarineScience ift.tt/DQhVOxu

Starting a preliminary experiment to test if environmental memory affects oyster glycogen response to heat stress. Four groups (heat/heat, heat/control, control/heat, control/control) will reveal history effects. Next: qPCR on energy genes & glycogen. #O… ift.tt/My8fR6v

Tank water checks: Left 30ppt, pH 7.8, alkalinity 80, 0 ammonia/nitrite, 40 nitrate; Right similar with 1–3 nitrite; Yellow tank shows 120 alkalinity, 0 nitrate. Regular testing keeps fish healthy and stable. #aquarium #waterquality #fishkeeping ift.tt/keWfiMD

Exploring heat stress on resazurin stability: 3-hour 36C treatment shows how fluorescence holds up in iced vs. room-temp samples. Findings could guide field-preservation without a reader. Data-driven steps ahead for stable measurements. #Science #Biology… ift.tt/Id96Noj
