US Marine Coral Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Just curious if anyone has a good way to estimate how many eggs this is. I would like to be able to keep track of my hatch rate but I need a good way to estimate how many eggs I am starting with. Thanks . Link to comment
supernip Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 split that into blocks of equal areas, count one and multiply Link to comment
paneubert Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Blow up the photo to be giant, go into MS Paint, dot each egg with a white or pink or green or whatever color dot (any not natural color so you can tell you put a dot), count each time you make a dot. If you don't want to do them all, do a square inch of the photo and multiply for an average. Link to comment
US Marine Coral Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks guys. There are 200 plus in that rectangle so I am guessing that there are over 1200 eggs? That sound right? Link to comment
paneubert Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If there are 200 in that rectangle, then yeah, I would guess closer to 1400-1500. Link to comment
