What is important to include/look-up in a scientific lab introduction? BIOLOGY LAB…

I’m doing a lab on juvenile brine shrimp. First they are just put into four sections with no factors changed (like a control) and then counted after 30 minutes. Then the same thing happens and they are broken up into four but each one is exposed to a different amount of light. It is to compare aboitic and biotic factors or independent and dependant factors that affect them.

What should I look up and research for the introduction?
What should I include and in what form/ order (ie; background info, hypothesis; justification for hypothesis?)

Can shrimp be ruined if they are allowed to brine for too long?

I am going to brine some shrimp later and suggestions i have seen say to brine for 30 minutes at room temperature. Problem is, I want to prepare them and put them in some tupperware for transport to a friend’s bbq. If I leave them in the brine after i clean them and just stick the containers in the fridge after 30 minutes at room temp, will sitting in there too long break down the shrimp meat?
