Getting ready for our new arrivals
We will be setting up the salmon tank soon for this year's fish. I collected water from my stream this weekend to start filling the tank.

The fry just before leaving school for the Union River.
Today we had a lovely sunny morning sandwiched between many days of clouds and rain. I don't know if the salmon cared one way or the other, but the good weather made today even more fun for us humans who let the fish go.
Goodbye, little fishies. This Friday we will let you go. Good luck!
In this fictional story about a salmon’s life cycle, you will learn many things. One salmon hatches, and its marvelous journey begins.
My opinion about Salmon{farm-raised and wild}
When you write a paper, you do research. Usually, in your report you site your source. This act is also know as making a bibliography. Teachers years ago asked their students to make a bibliography because that way the information given could be true. Without saying where the information came from a student could have made up the information that isn’t true.
This is what an alevin looks like as it is hatching:
These little alevin are fun to watch wiggle around the tank. See for yourself.
These tiny salmon need their environment to replicate nature. They are staying in our tank until they are mature enough to be released.
When we first got the salmon eggs and everyone got to observe one egg closely, Ethan insisted that his egg had too many eyes. We knew it was possible for a salmon to hatch with two heads, but I figured we just didn't know exactly what we were looking at.
