Today we rented a boat and returned to the “mangrove island” where we first collected our polychaete egg masses last year. Our hope was to collect the same type of egg masses. While we did successfully collect more egg masses from this area along with some polychaete tubes, at this time we are unsure if they are the same polychaetes or not. We will be taking the egg masses back to Rutgers Camden, where we will be studying their life cycles.
