All the Stronsay alevins have hatched by now! This morning, only a few eggs were left on the mesh frame so it was decided to remove it altogether. Underneath, it was crawling with bright orange tadpole-like little alevins, similar to the one on the picture. They’re all very healthy and we will now keep an eye on their yolk-sacs. Another piece of good news: this morning, I found in my pigeon-hole the four Single Introduction Consents from Marine Scotland which allow us to release our alevins into the various lochs and burns!
