Figure O-IO. Modified split bolt connectors (S-1/0) 

 for attaching panels to line. 



At the time a panel is recovered, water tem- 



f)erature measurements again are taken and sa- 

 inity samples also are collected as during plant- 

 ing. The panel number, geographic area, site 



number, latitude and longitude (arrays some- 

 times are moved by currents), array identifica- 

 tion, location of panel on array, and depth of 

 water at array are verified and changes noted 

 on data sheet. Also, the date panel was re- 

 covered and final water temperature and sa- 

 linity sample bottle number are entered in the 

 appropriate spaces. If a new panel is attached 

 to replace the one recovered, a new data sheet 

 is prepared. 



0-24 Preserving Biological Specimens on 

 tlie Test Panels. — After tlie panel is recovered, 

 it is placed in a plastic bag and treated with 

 approximately 200 ml. of ethyl alcohol. The 

 line, especially at the shallow sites, is often 

 covered with organisms. These organisms on 

 the line also may be retained for analysis by 

 storing and treatmg the line with the organisms 

 in an appropriate metal container. 



0-25 Analysis of Test Panels. — Panels are 

 returned to the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Of- 

 fice Biological Laboratory for analysis where 

 the organisms are identified, counted, measured, 

 and weighed.
