And it depends on the project, but normally until the morning.
And then we go again over and over.
Yeah, it depends.
So we have two types of nets.
One is called an unweighted gill net and it has like a series of floating buoys on top.
And so when a platypus is foraging in the water, it'll hit that net, it'll immediately surface for air and it'll be splashing on the surface.
So normally what will happen is we'll hear the splashes and
but we're also kind of patrolling that net with the spotlight every couple of minutes just because we don't want to miss any action that's happening.
We don't want to stress that animal out.
And so we'll jump in the boat and we'll go and collect it from the net and put it in a pillowcase.
The other type of net that we have is called a fike net.
That's where we're putting our waders on.
We're going into the river.
We're setting these nets.
They're very different.
So
the platypus is kind of funneled into a series of chambers.
So it can be resting in the water.
It can be resting out of the water.
And so those ones we're checking, you know, every couple of hours throughout the night to make sure that, you know, the platypus aren't in there for too long.
