Type Of Incubator in the Hatchery

A

Montana Boxes or stack Trays ( lots, 8 rows )

30
Q

How Does it Function

A

Montana Boxes: More human interaction, usually better success rate, hold up to 3,000
eggs.

31
Q

Life Stages

A

1) Egg- Fragile, Eying Up, Hatch Based on Water Temp
2) Alevin- Yolk Sack, Limited Locomotion, Not Eating Real Food
3) Fry- Buttoned up, Eating Real Food, Locomotion
4) Fingerling- Parr Marks, Size Of a Finger (3-4in)
5) Smolt- Heading Out to Ocean, Smoltification
6) Precocious- 2 year olds Sexually Ready to Spawn
7) Spawner- 3 to 4 year olds ready to Spawn

fish that are too similar (With an undesirable trait that can harm the fish ex disasters were
to happen [Extinction])

Q

Steve Dallas

A

Steve Dallas was an alumni of the program who has muscular dystrophy, but wanted to
help and make a difference. He was hired by the hatchery to staple papers because that
was the only limited muscle movement he had. However, he always had “great love for
life” and was very optimistic, so when he passed away, the UA created an award in his
memory given to the senior with the “greatest love for life”.
