We expected the fish that live in both salt and fresh water to share the highest number of protein sizes. However, the results show that they have even more differences than between the fish that live exclusively in salt or fresh water. For our error discussion, we will discuss how we forgot to transfer the buffer containing the fish protein from the flip-top tube to the screw-cap tube before incubating it in the warm water bath; the chunk of fish muscle and the buffer were incubated in the warm water bath for 5 minutes inside the flip-top tubes. We though that since the fish muscle was incubated in the buffer, we would end up with too much protein and our gel would be smeared. However, our gel turned out just fine.
