  • Results and conclusions are concise and relate back to objectives.

  • Color scheme is very simple and pleasing.

  • Font is large enough everywhere, including figures.
  •   Negative Points

  • Results and conclusions do not relate back to context (Introduction). It would be nice to see a statement of how the findings relate to aquaculture.

  • Some viewers have noted that the title could me more direct:
    "Temperature Determines Sex of Southern Flounder"

  • Title font is on the small side - could be larger.

  • Some viewers have felt there is too much white space between the columns. It could be reduced somewhat, but not too much.
