A day at the hatchery

I had the opportunity to spend a day cliping fins on several thousand Chinook Salmon fry at a fish hatchery north of Toronto. Ringwood hatchery was originally operated by the Ontario Government but is now all volunteer labour. The management falls to the Metro East Anglers and volunteers from several clubs join in for the grunt work. The hatchery cultures over 500,000 Chinook as well as Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Atlantic Salmon all destined to be released into various locations on Lake Ontario.

How it starts. Electrofishing in fall                                Collected Chinook eggs

                                                     

                                                 Removing adipose fin one snip at a time   

                                    

Some volunteers                                                                                                   70,000 Chinook fry 1 of 10 tanks

Nice to give back and ensure the fish are there for future generations and I really enjoyed the BBQ at days end.

Ps. It takes a million man hours per year to run the station.                       

 




Free at Last

Last evening May 10th a bunch of St. Catharines Game & Fish Association volunteers gathered in the cold rainy weather to release the 20,000 Chinook Salmon that had been pen imprinted in Port Dalhousie Harbor. Every year the program gets better. The average weight at release this year was 9.7grams over last years 6.15grams. There will be some big fish in 2-3 years time.

      

                           Kevin Netting the Fry                                                                   In the net at 9.7g

 

       

                  In the bucket and out to the Lake                                             All done for this year---Fishing Time

 

                               Rain? wht rain!!
