February 2020

February 1, 2020, two teams were sent out to area streams with Redd-O-Matics and planted 14,400 eyed-up wild Atlantic salmon eggs.  A team planted more eggs February 8th.   This was the last egg planting event for 2020.

​

An aquarium, similar to Fish Friends program equipment, was set up in the basement of the hatchery to hold all the remaining salmon eggs.  This aquarium should save electricity costs for February.
