Children are given a look at just-fertilized salmon eggs from the incubation room door at Hoy Creek Hatchery.
Here is our hatchery manager’s update on our 2022 Broodstock:
Chum
We have spawned 12 pairs (m/f) with a total green egg estimate of just over 35,000
Chum collection is done for the year
Coho
We have spawned 7 pairs(8m/7f) with a total green egg estimate just over 16,800
Coho collection is done for the year
Thanks to all the volunteers who supported these activities, and to our daily volunteers who monitor and maintain our equipment.
