​Fish Friends at Inglewood School

By: Grade 4 Millett

This year is the second year in a row that Mr. Millett’s Class has participated in the Atlantic Salmon Federation’s Fish Friends Programme. 

Schools in the area that participate in the programme set up an aquarium in their school and receive from 100-200 salmon fish eggs in March. They care for the eggs from the egg stage, to the Alevin stage and finally until they become fry, at which point they release them into a local brook on Base Gagetown known as Coleman Brook.  The Programme ties in nicely with the Grade 4 Science Curriculum on Habitat Studies and allows the students to have a unique experience as amateur fish biologists and conservationists.
