Day 3 - Highlight #1

Lauren and I on the hull of the boat, sitting with our
legs on top of Victoria.
Here is a video of the shark we caught in our trawling net today.

A trawling net runs across the bottom of the ocean and picks up fish, and we caught this shark. We got to feel its smooth skin, and then we threw it back. We caught a variety of fish, including hake, croakers, and black sea bass, for a dissection tomorrow. Once we got back to the Center for Marine Science at UNC-W, we looked at the fish that we caught and saw that one of them had a parasitic worm living off of it.

We are working very hard towards our goal of intellectual growth and making quite a lot of progress, too. We are all quite eager for tomorrow when we get to dissect our catch from today.

  1. Sounds like you are having a blast! Is the parasite a bad thing? Cant wait to read what happens in the dissection. And dont forget to post wonderful pics of your teachers :)
