INDEPENDENT NEOCARIDINA REVIEW INVITATION
Round version: 1.0
Review packet version: 1.2
Assignment: round1-design-density
Lens: Experimental design and statistics

Molt & Moss is a seller-publisher seeking criticism of one bounded public claim. This is not a request for endorsement, a testimonial or agreement with the site.

Claim: A tank can hold a fixed number of shrimp per gallon
Claim page: https://moltandmoss.com/care/claims/stocking-formula
Guide: https://moltandmoss.com/care/stocking
Selection reason: The density evidence is direct but narrow, and a mistaken experimental-unit or transfer inference can become an appealing shrimp-per-gallon rule for complete multigeneration aquaria.
Your review scope: Audit vessel replication, unequal starting counts, repeated group weighing, pooled biochemical material, model-estimated survival and transfer from juvenile grow-out vessels to home colonies.
Consequential failure to check: The project treats individual shrimp as independent density replicates, hides pooling or attrition, or converts a short vessel experiment into a home-aquarium capacity formula.

COMMON REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Is the reviewed claim stated precisely enough to audit?
2. Does the supported wording stay inside the source taxon, unit, comparison, duration and endpoint?
3. Does the limitation name the nearest consequential inference the evidence cannot carry?
4. Is the next action observable, measurable or reversible without becoming diagnosis or treatment authorization?
5. Is a consequential source, contrary result, conflict or uncertainty missing?
6. What exact wording should change, if any, and which stable source supports that change?

Please state the relevant experience used for this review and disclose any seller, breeder, author, employer, affiliate, paid, gifted or prior-collaboration relationship. Declining or identifying a scope conflict is useful and will be recorded without penalty.
