Wild Salmon Project

Hopefully, your child has told you about the salmon eggs we are hatching for the Toronto Zoo.  100 eggs in all.  They have begun to hatch.  It is fascinating to watch this process happen.  Newly hatched salmon (alevin)  are very unusual looking.





We will be raising these wild salmon until late May, early June and then we will be releasing them into the wild to help restock wild salmon in our region.

An exciting project indeed.
