Abstract: A device and methods of placing the device for indicating tidal water depth is described. The device having a body in a vertical orientation, with a top, bottom, and at least one viewing surface, with a measurement scale of numerals and marks displayed on the at least one viewing surface, where the numerals increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body.

Abstract: In order to simply and safely transport a sample of semen, the semen is mixed and diluted with a dual sugar (sucrose and glucose) extender in a ratio of up to 10:1 (v/v) by inducting the semen into a semen storage device, e.g., a large volume syringe, having extender therein and optionally disposed within a form-fitting, radiation blocking, sleeve. The semen storage device is placed on a support member located on the floor of a rigid foamed plastic container. A refrigerant containing a solid foam coolant is placed in the container at a level that is higher than the semen sample, and the container is closed using a lid having a central boss that fits snugly into the mouth of the container. The lid has a continuous ridge that fits into a recess formed in the upper edge of the container.

The semen storage device is placed on a support member located on the floor of a rigid foamed plastic container and covered with a thermoregulating plate also made of a rigid foamed plastic. A refrigerant pack with solid foam coolant is placed on top of the thermoregulating plate, and the container is closed using a lid having a central boss that fits snugly into the mouth of the container, and further has a continuous ridge that fits into a recess formed in the upper edge of the container.
