Release of the 'Troot'!

Today we went to the Quoykea Burn next to Sebay Mill to release the baby trout that we have been 'rearing' in a tank at school.
We had a good survival rate- only 1% of the trout eggs survive in the wild- we had enough for each child to release a bag full into the burn.
Thanks to Sandy Kerr and Antoine Petrie from the Trout Fishing Association who have helped us in this project and aided our understanding of the trout lifecycle. A big thanks too to Conrad who has been instrumental in the survival of the eggs.
