The Salmon have Hatched

It looks like about 90% of our salmon have now hatched.  It’s a very interesting process watching them wiggle out of the clear egg shell.  The clear shell is left behind at the alevin swim around with their yolk sac still attached.  Feeding will begin when about 80% of them are swimming up off the bottom.  That occurs around a month after they hatch.  To give some perspective, the fish are about 1 inch long.
