EPCAMR's Rainbow Trout Added to "Redd" Baskets 10/8/19

  • 5 years ago
We received our trout eggs/ sac fry today and after acclimating them to the tank water for about an hour, adding a little tank water to the bag every 15 minutes, we released them into the "redd" baskets. Started picking out the dead "white" eggs with a turkey baster, counting the live ones and evening out the distribution between the baskets. The whole process after we dumped them in the redds took about an hour.

Pennsylvania's statewide Trout In the Classroom (TIC) program is made possible through a unique partnership between the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited (PATU) and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). This partnership provides curriculum resources, workshops for teachers and program partners, technical support, trout eggs and food, and grants.
