Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The average number of eggs in the streamside incubators was 7,200 eggs per incubator. If streamside incubation were to be used as an alternate incubation strategy for a watershed or large river, a greater number of eggs would be needed per incubator. If the entire incubator was used it could potentially incubate 100,000 eggs. It would be beneficial to investigate the potential of streamside incubators to incubate greater numbers of eggs. 3, record 1, English, - stream%2Dside%20incubator

A waterfall is a phenomenon which occurs when water flowing in a river channel encounters a vertical or near-vertical drop in the channel bed. A cascade occurs when the drop results in a series of small falls; rapids occur where the river is steep and turbulent and the water remains in contact with the bed; and a cataract when a waterfall has a large volume of flow. 3, record 4, English, - waterfall
