Blog 3 10/29

Both plants A and B produced some oxygen since last week, existing in the form of bubbles.  Plant A had 2 nematodes eating it, and several others interspersed throughout the open water around it.  Plant B was being eaten by a cypria, a kind of ostracod, and another was eating plant A.  I spotted an immobile cyclops copepod, but there was at least one other swimming around plant A.  There are 3 dark, unidentified ostracods left, that i can see.  3 are in the sediment at the bottom, 1 is immobile, and 1 is swimming around and eating plant A.  All the traps on plant B appear empty.
