Week 2

By observing my sample on 10/30/08, I noticed many different things. The first thing that caught my eye was the number of protists. It is apparent that the number increased drastically. All of the protists seemed to move in circles, and stayed close to the algae. I distinctly noticed 2 Rotifers near a long piece of algae. There were also a few Peranemas in the middle. Also there was more plant life in my sample, but it was only noticable under the microscope. Another interesting thing that I noticed was a great amount of protists that lookded to be feeding on a brown piece of algae. There were approximately 15 protists around that one piece of algae.
