I formatted the table in Microsoft Word and plotted the data directly into it. Therefore, there are no rough notebook photographs or rough data collation work whatsoever.

Successful hatching
I followed the method I used in hatching the brine shrimp eggs of my trial experiment. This resulted in successful hatching of all the brine shrimp eggs in my experiment! I ensured that I maintained a suitable level of salinity and type of water (boiled water). I was so worried that the eggs would go back to not hatching again. However, the eggs were of good quality and had not lost its viability so my worries were unfounded. The eggs hatched within just 12 hours and carried on doing so up till 48 eggs. From that point onwards, there was no further hatching of eggs. From the 3rd day onwards, the hatched brine shrimp started dying off because they did not have any food to survive. From the 1st hour they hatched, they were fueled by energy from their eggs. However, once the energy had been used up, they required a pinch of baker's or brewer's yeast or else they would perish.
