Releasing our Trout

 

Primary 6 pupils welcomed 200 brown trout eggs in January and we have been looking after them very carefully in their new home within our classroom. We have been monitoring the temperature, adding ice to keep it cool, changing the water and checking for any eggs that haven’t survived.

Yesterday we went to Strathclyde Park to release our fry with one of the scientists from The Clyde River Foundation.  We released them into the  water that is connected  to the Clyde. When the fry turn into trout they will go to the Clyde or the sea. We all named our fry before wishing them well on their next adventure at sea!
