The trout are almost ready to be released! We'll release them on Monday, May 9 with around 20 6th grade science students. They're already 6 centimeters long! The fish tank is clean and it's in good condition. I can't believe they're almost ready to go. They grew so fast!(Post by EE-Z)

Making Great Progress

Our trout are healthy, and water quality is good. Look at how big they are! New student water quality groups are being trained by last semester's students.

Cool Assignment!

Take a look at these two videos (on Atlantic Salmon and Eastern Brook Trout) from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

If you're interested in making a video on Rainbow Trout, let Mrs. M. know. We're looking for a video team.

Release into tank

We released the trout into the tank. They are doing well...only 5 lost so far (so 151 left). Water quality is stable.
