Coho in the Classroom/ Walking with the Smolts

We raised coho in a tank in school, and learned more about the life cycle of salmon, ecosystems, the importance of healthy habitats, how humans can hurt or help salmon habitat, and local traditional preparation and uses of salmon.We released our fry during a field trip hosted by the Lillooet Naturalist Society. We followed the journey of smolts down towards the Fraser River and learned more about the hazards our fish will face on their way to the ocean.
