As of today (day 5 of the hatching process), all of the eggs in the Monocacy and Lewistown Baskets have hatched. Check out the Trout Inspection Record Link to see how many opaque and white eggs were removed. Students are noticing that the alevin are moving quite a lot, and a few are attempting to swim up from the bottom of the basket.
We've heard that other TIC schools in Frederick and Montgomery Counties may start blogging too! If you do, please let us know so we can follow your blog. It would be great to be able to compare data we're gathering.

OMG I can't believe how many eggs have hatched. I wonder why the other basket has those weird eggs in it and we don't?
Good question, Lexi. I was wondering the same thing. You know, we've kept so many variables the same...same tank, temperature, location in the tank (since we've been rotating the baskets)...the only difference is the type of hatching basket. Our is a net while Lewistown's is plastic. Hmmm...

maybe i could be the basket but maybe it's a disease or something. maybe when the were being loaded something got in and messed up the eggs
