Quarter Master Harbor at 12:30 today
 Away from the mass of Noctiluca piled at the north end or the  windward corner of the float.
Does Noctiluca comsum other plankton or just use up all other nutrients?  The sample gathered in a qt jar had the heavy orange scum at the top, this morning the scum had piled up on the bottom of the jar (in the frig.)?Reading the other posts I remember that when I sampled from QMH yesterday I could see tan blobs at different depth drifting by under the faint orange scum.
I took a sample of just the  tan blobs - looks like bits and pieces of Cheatoceros!
The net tow sample that we took at 12:30 was very "clean"!    Chaetoceros rare,  Dinophyses total of 3 and no PN or Alex. Total math not yet done.
All too interesting and I need to move on to other items!
