- Went out to Manchester for the day to help Mac with little neck clam spawning. The spawning was unsuccessful, sadly, and we’ll have to re attempt in 2 weeks with hopes that 1) the clams are ripe enough and 2) there won’t be excess mortality before we have a chance to spawn them

- Spawning at Manchester. Went better than last time. Had both treatments go through temperature cycles of 30 minutes at 25C and 30 minutes at 15C. After planned four cycles had 2 spawners (1 male, 1 female) from both control and OA treatments. At the end of the fourth cycle, more started spawning and added 1 additional 30/30 cycle and a shorter 15/15 cycle which yielded additional males and females for both treatments. Ended with 5 total females available for crossing, est. 5 million eggs/potential larvae. I had to leave early to catch the ferry and didn’t get the final counts though.
