This week we learned how to use Clove oil to knock fish out so we can weigh and measure them.

First we caught the fish.

Next we put them in a bucket of water with clove oil in it.

After they are knocked out we take them out to weigh and measure them.

Last we put the fish in a tank to recover.

Yesterday I helped clean and decorate Convict Cichlid tanks. Here are pictures of the tanks.

Today the campers did a activity called shark tagging that showed them how scientists tagged and studied sharks. To tag a shark the campers had to run up and scoop the shark out of the water.
