There's also the communication aspects of the symbiotic relationship between the pistol shrimp and shrimp goby.....

Very true, but is there enough research for a 25 page paper?

[SeaShell]

I'm sure there is, if you use a 36 font.

Haha, don't forget to double space.

Hey you don't have to concentrate on a single example, why not use all of them? That would certainly fill up your pages.

And use Courier New.

I say "yes" -- "Moehring, L.J. 1972. Communication systems of a goby shrimp symbiosis. Ph.D. thesis, University of Hawaii, 373 pp."

That is a beast of a paper....I'm going to go find it now. Thanks Matt

I'm stuck between cuttlefish/octopi (sp?), and shrimp-fish relationships. I've abandoned the tang idea having searched and come up with little information.

I believe the preferred formatting is size 40, margins of 4", and an extra tall and bold font.

25 pages is not so bad.

My BSc(Agricultural Sc) thesis paper was 140 pages long and my MSc(BioE) thesis paper was 150+ pages long and all the research was conducted personally over the course of four years.

That should make you feel better about having to write a "short" paper, eh

At least my primary research was done working on ocean salmon farms in beautiful areas like Clayquot Sound (near Tofino) and at Broughton Island (outside Port McNeil).

Yup that does make me feel better. I wish I could do more hands on work, and less endless researching. Its one of the things that deter me from doing a masters degree.

I take it you learned a lot about salmon?
