Today is dissection day! This morning the group headed down to the lab to look at the external and internal anatomy of the fish they collected on the boat yesterday. The coolest dissection of the day was probably the lumpfish, with its pelvic fins that have been modified into a ‘sucker’.
After lunch, armed with buckets and shovels, the students walked to the Barr Road in hunt of marine worms. They were amazed to learn that some worms have teeth and can bite, which they witnessed when Barb got nipped. Not terribly painful but quite a shock! While on the beach a few of the students were brave and decided to take a dip. This would not be the last time some of them got soaked today!
This evening they screen printed t-shirts and will get everyone to sign them tomorrow as a souvenir of all the friends and memories they made here at the Huntsman. They also played water balloon volleyball, which then deteriorated into a water fight outside with buckets of water. Hope we can find a mop so they can clean up their slippery path to the sink!
Look at those teeth!
Which fish do you have?
