The Cumulative Developmental Index on April 15 was 91.7%. On release day, the salmon should be right around 98% developed. CRSA recommends releasing the salmon when the Cumulative Developmental Index is between 96% and 100% - so we are right on target. The salmon are "schooling up" in the tank, hanging out in clusters around the corners of the tank. Our damaged fry is still alive. The students have named it Nemo even though they know its survival once released is unlikely. You can see movement of the salmon in the video below. Make the video full screen for more detail.
