January 13, 2013 - Our first sac fry!

Post date: Jan 15, 2013 2:31:12 AM

Exciting news for our Hartland Students - our first salmon egg hatched over the weekend!

You can see the small salmon in the left center portion of the picture. The eggs and tail are visible with the large sac attached on the belly.

The sac contains nutrients that will sustain the fish until it is released into a nearby stream.

A clear egg below the sac fry is an egg that was never fertilized.
