January 19, 2014 - First Alevin Hatching!

Post date: Jan 19, 2014 8:15:51 PM

The Cumulative Developmental Index today is 52.655% and we have lost about 7 eggs to date. Some of the healthy eggs in the tank are rolling around in the tank bottom. Today, I saw one alevin in the process of hatching. The photo below shows its eyes and top of the head free from the membrane (look at the lower right end of the arrow). It is a bit early for hatching and I hope this little salmon is healthy. If you click on the image you should be able to zoom in closer.
