Salmon Release Day!

Post date: May 04, 2013 12:14:26 PM

On Friday, April 26th the 6th grade class released 170 salmon at People's State Forest. The cumulative Developmental Index on release day was about 97%. We found a section of the river that had a rocky bottom and good cover for the fry. We hope they have a successful journey to Long Island Sound and the Atlantic! It's a long way to go.

Last family picture!

Most salmon have a very small sac left.

Pre-packaged for easy transport!

Every student released about 8-10 fry.

Lots of rocks for shelter.

Swim fast and hide!
