Compromised

It looks like my blood/plasma samples may have been compromised during transit. Our control fish have higher cortisol concentrations than our angled fish, a finding not at all expected. Cortisol concentrations, overall, were simply higher this year than they were last year. Chloride ions were also consistently higher than last year's data.

Given all of this, we may be forced to turf some of the data. It's quite unfortunate, but there's nothing I can do about it now. Bummer...

  1. Bummer indeed. Very sorry to hear of this setback. Hope it will not compromise your overall results- or your thesis. Then again, another year of angling on the Ottawa wouldn't be all bad ;-)
