The 2007 Salmon Hatching Season
The new year began with the delivery of 50,000 Atlantic salmon eyed eggs to the club on Janury 11. The delivery was about a month earlier than normal due to a warm fall and early winter. The early delivery was anticipated and the hatchery was ready to receive the eggs. It did not take long for the eggs to start hatching and by February 3, all of the eggs had hatched. Egg mortality was quite low. With some good luck we will have a lot of fry to stock in the spring.
