Third grade
students enjoyed their trip to get salmon eggs. Here are
their comments written in their own words. At the Manistee River Weir I learned that salmon have over 1000 eggs in them. I learned that when salmon get old they turn white. I learned when the fish are male they get slimy. Salmon now were to lay there eggs by smelling. They get the egg by putting a little bolling thing in there stomick. Then they push a button and all of the eggs come out. ...by Katilih |
