Over the last few weeks, while looking after our eggs and alevin, we have been helped by visiting scientists, Gemma, Paul and Emma. We have felt very proud to have looked after these lovely creatures during this part of their life cycle*. We have also been pleased to share our knowledge with Gemma, Paul and Emma. Thank you to them too, for answering all of our many questions.
Hopefully we can continue to look after our fish well until it is time to release them in a local waterway.

Things are going well for us in our endeavour to develop the trout eggs into alevins and keep them well-looked after. We have only lost a few eggs, and the remainder have now hatched into healthy alevins with very full yolk sacs.
Pictures to follow!
Our hatchery was delivered by Gemma (Dr Gemma Jennings) on Monday 16 January. She set it up for us and showed us how to look after it. Our trout eggs would not be delivered for another week, so in the meantime, we had to practise keeping the tank cool and at a steady temperature for our eggs.
Today is finally here! We are so excited to be going to the launch of Clyde in the Classroom at the Glasgow Science Centre!
Look out for our posts all about this exciting experience where you will learn all about it!
