Research Experience?

Hi guys! I'm a little confused about what counts as research experience vs animal experience. I was a lab assistant at my university's marine biology laboratory where I was on protocol for 2 research experiments involving stingrays and sharks. The research was not my own, I was just helping two other people with their research by helping take care of the animals and collect data. I did things like feed them, keep up with the tanks, take daily water quality readings, keep records for IACUC,... Research Experience?
