My mentors Andres Carillo and Nicole Nakata, along with the staff of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, were my best sources. They really helped me complete my independent component.
A lot of the time I spent working on my trial 1 and 2 of my Olive Rockfish project. During this period I finished my trial 1, and began my trial 2, also participating in the young scientists symposium where I presented on my trial 1 findings to the public. I found that the Olive Rockfish fed smelt grew the most, both in length and girth, and the ones fed a mix of squid and smelt came in second and the ones that were fed only squid grew the least.

| What we think might be a nudibranch with eggs, not 100% sure |

| I found this little guy in one of the water tables, we knew it was a nudibranch, just didn't know what kind. So we researched it and found that it was a Flabellina trilineata. |
