Data Collection

Data Table 1 shows the date of each count, the amount of crabs on either side of Spermaceti Cove, and any additional observations taken by either B. Astorino or D. D'Albero.

The three graphs below show the relation between the amount of fiddler crabs counted against the progression of the summer. Generally, as the season goes on, there are less and less fiddler crabs spotted on both sides of Spermaceti Cove. This is due to the fact that fiddler crabs burrow underground during the winter months.

A line graph that plots the amount of fiddler crabs counted on the north side of Spermaceti Cove against the counting session. See Data Table 1 for exact dates and observations of each counting session. Counting session 6 denotes the end of the 2016-2017 sessions.

A line graph that plots the amount of fiddler crabs counted on the south side of Spermaceti Cove against the counting session. See Data Table 1 for exact dates and observations of each counting session. Counting session 6 denotes the end of the 2016-2017 sessions.

This line graph plots all of the crabs counted on both sides of Spermaceti Cove against the counting session. See Data Table 1 for exact dates and observations of each counting session. Counting session 6 denotes the end of the 2016-2017 sessions.

Data Table 2 shows the different counting dates, broken down into two different data sets of the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years, with each data set's average, variance, and standard deviation calculated beneath.
