Welcome!

This blog will be used as a log to record progress from our salmon raising adventure. Salmon are a precious resource and are vital to the balance of our local and global ecosystems. In the next few months, we will learn about the salmon life cycle, the benefit of salmon, the threats to salmon, and how you can help their species maintain existence.

Get ready for an exciting learning adventure!

Salmon Tank Introduction

This is the tank all set up and adjusting to the classroom temperature and environment. It is important to set up the tank at least one week before the salmon arrive to work out any kinks. The water temperature needs to be between 51 degrees and 55 degrees, preferably 53 degrees. We also have to make sure the PH level is just right.

These are salmon at varying levels in their development.


This is the progress the salmon will make in the sort time in our class.
