| Other Information: |
Spawn date is an estimate based on the literature and the hatch date which I do know. Spawn date is an estimate as I am not tracking them due to the reasons given in the journal.
My larval snagger is rather passive, as it is only a light attractant without any mechanical water movement. The larvae swim into it and possibly cannot swim out. That's why there are so few collected, and the hatch was not witnessed, so exact numbers of hatchlings are unknown |
