MOLT & MOSS NEOCARIDINA DECISION CARD
Version: 1.0
Reviewed: 2026-08-12
Topic: Separate temperature effects and house choices

Situation: You are choosing a temperature or responding to heat, cold or a rapid change.
Observe first: Measure current and recent temperature history, rate of change, oxygenation, life stage, behavior and the outcome actually at risk.
First action: Stabilize the system within its documented operating plan and address oxygen and ongoing heat exposure without chasing one study endpoint.
Record next: Record time series, measurement location, device, oxygen context, behavior, molts, reproduction, losses and every intervention.
Stop boundary: Do not call the fastest growth, shortest incubation or survival in one protocol a universal optimum or complete safe interval.
