| This is our beloved "cold room" (~11 degrees) at Hatfield Marine Science Center at Newport. In this cold room Bill Peterson does experiments of copepod egg production and hatching success, Leah Feinberg and Tracy Schaw do experiments of development of the euphausiid larvae and feeding rates of the adult euphausiids, and I do experiments of egg production, egg development time, and egg hatching success of the euphausiids Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera. The left picture shows our incubation chamber to keep the mature females in dark conditions. The right picture shows our vedeo camera system (well...Charlie Miller's video-system) connected to the Bill's laptop to record the egg development stages of the euphausiid eggs. |

| Leah Feinberg is counting the E. pacifica's larvae to estimate the development time of the E. pacifica larvae using our second stereomicroscope inside the cold room. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Here I'm checking the incubation of a mature female to know if she spawned eggs. The lamp directed upward help us to see more easily the eggs and the molts in the case of the molting rate experiments. I know I'm look like an snowborder in the middle of summer (June-Sep), but believe me it is very cold after a couple of hours inside the cold room. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Inside the cold room we have been learning a lot of processes related to egg production, egg spawning frequency and time schedule, egg development time, egg hatching time and egg hatching success. The left picture is showing a nauplius 1 of E. pacifica hatching from the egg. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
