Had some fun "getting as far up-river as possible in 30 minutes one-way" today with my senior undergrads.

If you ever wondered why zooplankton in situ imaging is typically done in waters > 100 m, here's an example of the chaos we are figuring out how to deal with on a continental shelf.

I could watch appendicularians/larvaceans (can we please just pick one term?) all day; note the house contractions that 'pump' due to movement. Video captured via 'benchtop' shadowgraph camera setup from specimens collected via nets (non-filtering end) while onboard the R/V Savannah. #planktonsky

#invertefest needs some more marine representation, so here are 2 Liriope sp. hydrozoan and a teeny ctenophore amongst numerous copepods. Data recorded (5 fps) via a benchtop shadowgraph camera from a non-filtering end plankton net tow.
