skeeter Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 after we did the fish lift we were invited back to the hatchery, to see what happens after they take the eggs out. they start with fertilizing the eggs and then they are put into the incubating trays then put into these huge tanks to grow thousands of them these are the coho's these are the chinook's there food has to be carefully measured to the exact grams for each tank and size of fingerlings the food is then put into 2 fully automatic feeders for each tank once they reach the right size which is about a year old, they then get released into lake ontario in several different locations. they release 750,000 chinook and 50,000 coho's every year. daniel & I would like to thank everyone from ring wood for showing us what kind of work goes into restocking our lakes. it was an experience that was so good we are going back again easter friday to do it all over again.
