Report of Ann Bodio, student technician, sixth week of work, July 15-19, 2002.

"After I cleaned the 'elephant' bag (the elephant bag is extremely stinky and no fun at all to clean!) I cleaned some sieves and buckets with the iodine solution." "..Enid came down from the office and we got started on my project with the scallops and adhesives...we scrubbed the scallops one at a time..I (got) a piece of wax paper and laid it flat on the table, placing the netting on top. Next I blotted the animals with paper (towels) and one at a time attached it to netting with bone cement. 11:42 all the animals are attached. 11:56 put the animals back in the water. This is our second time trying this...during the winter the scallops don't grow much and the rings on scallops determine age."

"My friend(s) Shayna and Kristen came over to the hatchery ... I showed ...them the hatchery...When I arrived (back) in Woods Hole I met Kevin from the Marine Biological Laboratory to give him a sample of oysters. I was hoping they were okay during that time in the cooler and (that) they didn't die."
