April 23rd 2010: Day 156

Number of Fish Removed: EVERYONE!!!
Today was the BIG DAY!!! The big presentation was held in the Elementary School Library and it actually consisted of 3 separate but identical presentations (one for 3rd grade, one for 4th grade, and one for 5th grade). I brought all my equipment for caring for the fish down to the library to set up everything and prepare myself. I rented a visual data projector from the public library along with a cart and transported those down to the elementary school as well. The presentation consisted of many pictures I had taken over the course of the last 5 months along with a brief introduction to what the SIC program is. For the majority of the presentation, however, I talked a lot about the growth patterns of Chinook salmon during their early development and explained a lot of observations that I had made while caring for the fish. I tried to explain everything I possibly could during the half hour time block I was given, but there is just so much that you learn when you do the SIC project, that it is not even possible to cram everything into 30 minutes. I printed up some brochures that I had made special for the presentation and hand out somewhere between 120 and 125 brochures to all the students and teachers, unfortunately there wouldn't be enough for everyone to have their own, so everyone shared them. There was somewhere between 300 and 400 kids who attended the presentations in all. The first presentation was for the 3rd grade and it was held from 8:45 am to 9:20 am. The second presentation was for 4th grade and it was held from 10:00am until 10:30am. the third and final presentation was for the 5th graders and it was held from 12:00pm until 12:30pm. I felt as if the first presentation was a little off, it was a little over whelming to be talking to so many people at once, and at the same time, since it was the first presentation I feel like it was just difficult to make everything flow together nicely. The second presentation was definitely the best of all the presentations, it flowed perfectly and I seemed to be able to fit just about everything I wanted to talk about into the 30 minute time slot. The 3rd presentation was not quite as good as the second was and it was the presentation that I actually recorded. Even though the 3rd went pretty well, it still had a few places where things did not flow very well and I feel like I repeated myself quite a few times, almost talking in circles. The 3rd presentation fell somewhere between the first and second as far as how well it went. On a scale from one to 10, 10 being the best,I would say the 2nd presentation was a 9, the third was about a 7 and the first presentation was maybe a 4 or 5.
At 2:30pm, after all the presentations were finished and everything was cleaned up, I went back down to the public library and began to prepare the salmon for the release. I scooped about 3 and a half gallons of water into a 5 gallon bucket then began catching fish from the aquarium with the green net. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to catch everyone. I tried to count each fish as I put them into the bucket to try and double check my number of fish, but halfway through I lost count and gave up. I'm assuming that the official count is 113 fish which is what it should be, according to my records. At 3:00pm, my teacher, his two daughters, and myself along with the lady from the daycare and two daycare kids, drove out to the release site (designated by the MDNR). All of the kids had a chance to catch a few fish and release them and I did my best to try and get it all on camera and video. It was a really fun time! All the fish in the bucket still looked pretty healthy after the long car ride, although there were a few at the bottom laying on their side but they were still moving. They might not have been getting enough oxygen from the water. Once we released them into the lake though, the ones on their sides were perfectly fine, you couldn't even tell they had been weakened by the trip. After release, all the fish looked like they would make it, but they seemed a little confused...in awe maybe by the openness of their new "aquarium". At first they didn't move, but after a while most of them figured it out and headed out into deeper water. Some of them hid in the rocks, seaweed and algae at first, and they needed more coaxing to get them out into the cooler, deeper water where they would be more likely to survive and less likely to be washed up on shore or caught in the water pools. We caught the ones who were sticking too close to shore and released them a little further out. Eventually, everyone swam away, and just like that, the project was over!

Fish look really healthy today, still growing quickly! They look bigger than they did on Friday! They were fed on Sunday once, but not at all on Saturday. Today when I came in the filters were really dirty, and dark brown with waste! I cleaned them off along with the sides of the tank, then changed 4 gallons of water. Everyone ate quickly when I fed them and they ate everything. They ended up getting fed a lot today. Even now they are still being fed 1.5mm and 2.0mm foods, some of the fish act like the 2.0mm food is too big for them to eat, but quite a few are taking to the 2.0mm pretty well. Tank looked clean when I checked them today, very clear. This week I will begin 4 gallon changes on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's along with a 1 gallon change and a 2 gallon change on Tuesday's and Thursday's respectively.

Changed a gallon of water today, cleaned filters at 7:45am and 10:00am. Fish are looking healthy, tank was a little dirty this morning near the right corner of the tank so I cleaned this up and then ran some water quality tests to make sure that all levels are still normal. Nitrate and ammonia are still zero but nitrite has increased by 0.75 and pH went down 0.4 points. It is now 0.2 points outside of the acceptable pH range. Hopefully this won't affect them too much! Tomorrow will be a FIVE gallon water change which will hopefully return things to normal. Fish were fed at 10:00am, 2:00pm, 3:30pm and 5:30pm. Filters were cleaned a total of three times today. The temperature in the library got up to 80 F degrees today, by late afternoon the aquarium had built up a lot of condensation on the sides. This seemed to scare the fish a little, they did not know what to think. The librarian and I continuously wiped off the sides of the tank, but the water vapor continued to come back. Today my teacher e-mailed a few people at other schools who are doing the SIC (Salmon in the Classroom) project and we received a response from one of the teachers who said that they had not released their fish yet, they were planning on a release in May. They also informed us that they currently had 117 fish still alive and healthy, all of whom were approximately 4 inches in length, and not yet silver and that they are changing 5 gallons of water daily. Their aquarium temperature is set at 55 F degrees and their fish are also receiving 6 feedings per day plus weekend feedings. My teacher and I decided that the fish still have a little bit longer until we release them. Fish are still receiving 1.5 and 2.0mm foods.

Did a four gallon water change today, cleaned filters and tank, fish were fed a mixture of 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm foods, they seem to be taking it well; they were fed at 10:00am, 2:00pm, 3:30pm and 5:30pm. Pictures!
This bucket shows the difference between the tank water and the distill water which is exchanged during the water change. Although the water looks clear in the aquarium, if you compare it to water from the tap, it is easy to recognize that the tank water is dirtier. Water changes are very important in maintaining stable living conditions for the fish.

Checked water quality today, and nitrite is up 0.75 ppm, but all else has remained the same. Cleaned filters and changed a gallon of water today. Fish look good, very alert, and a few look like they are in full smolt, their parr marks have almost completely vanished, a vast majority of the fish, however, are still retaining their parr marks. Parr marks may all be gone by next week; could be Monday but it will more likely be Thursday or Friday. They could potentially be released any time between this coming Monday (April 12th) and the following Monday (April 19th). Fish were fed at 11:00am, 3:30pm, 5:30pm and 8:00pm.

Changed one gallon of water today, cleaned filters, and took some pictures with a professional camera that I borrowed from the art room. Today a couple of classes came in to see the salmon before the release. I gave both classes a small introduction to the fish and explained a few key points of the project to them. Towards the end of the day today, I talked with my class adviser and found out that the salmon were not quite ready for release (their parr marks are still quite visible on many of them, which signifies to both of us that the fish have not yet reached full smolt) so the release date has been rescheduled, rather than releasing them tomorrow, the salmon will be released at a later date.

Fish are getting big, slowly losing scales through the smolting process and their looking pretty silver now. Today I took some pictures with the art room camera in hopes to get some cool timed pictures, unfortunately it did not work out as well as I had hoped. I did get a nice regular photo though. Today I changed 4 gallons of water and cleaned the filters and tank. Fish were fed by the feeder at least once last night, the feeder threw some food on the cover that missed the funnel, which is how I know they got fed. I talked to my teacher today about the daycare lady being able to come to the salmon release, and he thought it would be a good idea, too. My teacher and I set the date for the salmon release to be April 8th 2010 at approximately 9:00am. The poster is again underway as of last night, it is further along than it was originally.

Fish were fed three times today on Friday, once by the librarian and twice by the automatic feeder. The feeder may have only fed small amounts though because it looked like the food was stuck in the back of the cylinder. I moved the food so that it would be closer to the feeders spout. I removed the last rock from the tank today to allow for more water volume and room for the fish to swim. Cleaned the filters and sides and bottom of the tank. Exchanged four gallons of tank water for 5 gallons of distilled water and added stress zyme. Fish were fed at 11:00am and 12:00pm, feeder was set for 2 feedings 2 rotations per feeding. We left the cabinet light on today (adjacent to the fish tank) in hopes that it would help the light sensor to work and feed the fish. It was pretty dark in the library today since it is overcast out and the lights are all off, so we weren't sure if the fish were even being fed.
