Mobile herring lab

Because sampling had to be done on living individuals, the Thünen pickup truck was transformed into a field lab right away on the parking lot of a boat rental. The blood centrifuge needed performed well with assistance of an electric generator. Additionally, fishes were strip-spawned to investigate embryonic development under differing temperatures and salinities. Some hours later, it became clear that the herring eggs could be successfully fertilized and the experiment will deliver the results during the following weeks.
