These mucilage observations were made between December and March which December 31 being the first record and 3rd of March being the last in this study.

Another case was in 31st January of 2008, the effects can be found in Figure 9.

Also from another study by İ. Destan Öztürk et. al., we can observe the vertical apperance of mucilage in terms of depth.
