The Effects of Alisma on the Blood Sugar, Dissolved Oxygen, and Ammonia Levels on Procambaraus clarkii

Hypothesis:
H1: Crayfish given treated with Alisma will have lower blood sugar than the control.

H2: Crayfish given treated with Alisma will secrete less ammonia than the control.

H3: Crayfish given treated with Alisma will consume less oxygen than the control.

Significance:

The purpose of this experiment is to see the effect of Alisma on the red swamp crayfish blood sugar levels, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia levels. This would be used as a possible experimental hyperglycemic treatment.
