skeeter Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBCregal Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 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. ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
