Fish Lift At The Milne Damn

[skeeter]

i decided to take my son daniel to a fish lift today.

we have never been to one before and wanted to see what it is that they do there.

 

this is the milne dam where they get the fish from

 

setting up the scale

 

the cage where the fish are brought up from the lake

 

the first rainbow

 

first they get weighed - andy with the red jacket over see's the operation,

jermey in the back ground is showing daniel what to do and daniel is handling all the fish.

 

after the weighing they go over to measured, eggs carefully removed,an electronic chip put into the fish and then one fin clipped

 

 

then back into the lake they go, alive

cool

[tb4me]

thats cool. But why remove eggs and why clip one fin? sorry for silly questions....

[SBCregal]

my guess is for stocking programs, and to identify fish that they've implanted etc to monitor where/when they're caught and all of that.
