Most of the eggs have now hatched at KGS, apart from a dozen or so. Froth is always an indicator that the hatching process is under way, but have a look at the picture, it’s as if somebody poured in half a bottle of Fairy liquid into the tank!
On the other picture, we can see the dark orange alevins sitting on the green mesh but the majority of the young trout are probably hiding underneath.
Well done to the KGS pupils and staff for successfully hatching about 95% of their eggs!
On behalf of class 3G Biology we would like to thank Mr Ewing for giving up his time to show us the ‘Troot in the Shed’, it was very interesting and helpful because it was relevant to our biology course. It was a rare and unique opportunity to observe a specific point in the trout life cycle.
