The work at CRIOBE research station continued today with each group focusing on their respective projects. After breakfast the divers set out on an early morning dive. The remaining members of the fish groups headed out to the public beach with snorkeling gear in hand. Some from the UV group were there to spear butterflyfish for UV photographing and fish eye analysis, and others from the pair-bonding group went to continue observing the grazing patterns of their chosen species. A member of the UV group caught the group's first Raccoon Butterflyfish, a fish that has been elusive to the group until now. The lizard group finally crunched the numbers they had gotten from their lizard census and found exciting news, their data sported their hypothesis! Their hypothesis being that the invasive house gecko would be found more on buildings then the native gecko species.
