A certain weight of fish is taken from each of the 52
indoor tanks and transferred to either a 20’ or 30’ tank outside. The large 30’ tanks receive 40,000 fish!
Our job was to help wrangle all the little fish with our
little nets and get them into a bucket for weighing.
Two buckets on the scale.
When the tanks start getting low on fish, they get harder
and harder to catch.
Round ‘em up!
At one point we had 6 people working on each tank!
Can you guess how many fish in a bucket?
The small buckets are transferred to the large tub to be
transferred to the outside tanks.
Move ‘em out!
They will get used to all the extra space soon and will
spread out.
Black areas are Atlantic Salmon.
I'll play. My Super Wild Ass Guess (SWAG) is 3514.
ReplyDeleteOops! I shouldn't have asked the question if I didn't know the answer! We think there are approximately 1250 fish per bucket weighing in at 5 pounds per bucket.
ReplyDeleteWow, you guys are sure keeping busy. Beautiful area. Maybe we may get there next year.
ReplyDeleteI think yall would like it here. There is a lot to see.
DeleteIt actually was a lot of fun! The staff were having a blast and that made it fun for us too. The work is a lot easier after all the fish are moved outside to the larger tanks.
