Obtaining the Sea Urchins

Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratories is the vendor through which we will purchase the sea urchins for research. We plan on purchasing around 12 fertilized sea urchins in hopes that at least half of them will be fertilized and will produce the ovoperoxidase we needed.

Below is a link to the website from which we plan to order the sea urchins:

The UV-Vis is the main instrument we use to analyze the peroxidase.

Scots J-Term Andros Island

January 4th through January 12th of 2019 my research advisor, Brad Sturgeon, along with 7 other students and myself, visited Forfar Field Station on Andros Island in the Bahamas. There I was able to learn about the natural environment of sea urchins We also gained field experience by studying them through snorkeling. The interns at Forfar were very knowledgeable about the area and the creatures inhabiting the ocean around the island.
