Empty aquarium while the temperature settles

Eggs arrive from the River Carron on the West Coast of Scotland

When the temperature was increased we noticed changes

The alevin emerged on the same day as the solar eclipse

Mr Paterson brought stones from the Bronie Burn for the alevin to hide amongst

We researched the lifecycle of the salmon. Eggs are the size of peas. P6 and 7 are creating models of the different stages of the lifecycle to scale

Temperature

The salmon are being kept at 6.0 degrees and if the temperature goes up to 12 degrees they die. During the power failure there was no power in the aquarium so the temperature went up to 11.2 degrees because the cooler was off. It was 4.0 degrees when we first got the salmon eggs from the River Ythan Trust, when we moved it up to 5.0 degrees they changed to alevins faster because the temperature was higher.The temperature has gone up so they can grow faster.

We have been lucky enough to be selected to take part in a salmon in the classroom project, you can find out more about this here. We were very excited to receive around 130 salmon eggs about three weeks ago. They travelled by car in an insulated box filled with ice from the West Coast of Scotland. The eggs were carefully poured onto the surface of the water and they gently landed amongst the gravel on the bottom of the aquarium. We are going to use this blog to share our learning.
