School Hatchery Update Apr 21


Recommended Posts

As the days go by the Reports get closer to the end, May 4th the Salmon continue on their voyage to grow up on one of the Saugeen's Tributaries & hopefully be caught by one of us or someone who appreciates the time & effort the local clubs put into making our days on the water a success, it sounds like the teacher is interested in doing this next year so we can continue teaching some kids it can be fun to put back into our Natural Resources,

Tight Lines & Have a Great Opener

That's awesome :clapping:

We did the classroom hatchery in Stevensville for the last two years but they died both times. The kids were upset but gained an even greater respect for the environment. They're more determined than ever to keep our streams clean. This year the school is trying a third time but have the tank in the hall instead of the class. This way the whole school gets to watch.

We lost about 25% they looked like they starved to death, all head & no body, one of the guys said it could be a vitamin difficency & they won't eat, we are changing 5 to 10 gallons of water every day & checking the ammonia levels & adding 10mil of chemical every day, the class is on hourly feedings from 7:30 to 4pm, the kids love it, we lost 6 last Monday & 1 Wednesday, I'm on feeding detail Friday & Sunday & the Teacher is coming over Saturday & Monday, under 2 weeks now
