Our eggs started to hatch on Thursday! We have pulled 11 white, cloudy eggs from the plastic hatching basket, and none from the mesh basket. The students are wondering why... This is a picture of the alevin at 1 day. Most have hatched.
This is Mr Dinkel weighing in on the issue of the bredder basket. I do not have an explanation for why there are more "white" eggs in the plastic box than the net basket. BUT I will do some checking to see if anyone does. I plan to call one of the fishery biologists at That Fish Place, where we purchase supplies for Trout in the Classroom. They may have an explanation. Perhaps you have discovered something because you were curious enough to do an experiment. Now that you have discovered a difference you need to find out why. Isn't science fun! Perhaps one of the DNR biologists at the hatchery we visited last May will have an answer. So put on your detective hats and let's go on an investigation. The first one to come up with a good explanation will win a prize. Ready, Set, Go!
