THIS YEAR WE are

Raising baby Trout

SALMON IN OUR CLASSROOM

South Tacoma Hatchery

Preparing Our trout Eggs

First the Hatchery separates the Trout by age.
They place the fish in holding pens. Pens are separated by age, sex and size. There were several different age groups.

Each group they checked to see if the fish was ready.
A tarp was used to cover the fish.

Eggs & milt were taken placed into containers

Some fish lived to see another day. Others had to be used to test for diseases.
This bucket is full of trout eggs
The eggs are being fertilized.

Once the milt and eggs have been mixed they are placed into trays like these. After treated the unfertile eggs turn white We received trout eggs just like these. Our babies have all hatched as well.(more later)

We are going to release our baby trout at
