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!
