After that, we traveled back to the Green Lake Fish Hatchery to see how the salmon are raised there. We walked up to the dam by Green Lake to see the water source for the hatchery. Then, we went inside the hatchery to see how the salmon are raised there. A bulletin board showed us all the stages the salmon go through at the hatchery until they are released. There is a room where all the eggs are kept in trays after they are fertilized. We saw thousands of small fry in tanks where they are fed and monitored. We also saw other tanks with larger and larger salmon. It was a great trip and it is a good feeling to know, in some small way, we are helping this endangered specie. |
