Since getting the larvae into the pens, we’ve been working on deploying Data Sondes to monitor water quality. We’re particularly interested in, among other things, dissolved oxygen because at some point in the season the algae is going to start blooming rapidly. Not too long after that, it will all die and the dissolved oxygen is going to plummet. At that point, we’ll be setting up an aeration system with a generator powering a bubbler that will aerate the pens 24\/7 until conditions improve. So the focus over the next few weeks will be to get a good system down for reading and re-calibrating the Sondes and monitoring the fish and the water quality, and preparing for the crash.<\/p>\n

We have fish! We spent a week setting drift nets between 8 pm and 1 am (when the larval suckers are higher in the water column), off a bridge over a river where the adult fish are known to spawn. … Continue reading
