100 Rainbow Trout fingerlings arrived safely at the ARC tonight. The Trout originated from Tasmania as fertilised eggs shipped to Hanging Rock via Nundle- Arc-En-Ciel Rainbow Trout Farm and raised in their pristine spring water fed, flow through Trout farm. The fingerlings are approx. <10cm long and will be grown out in our recirculation system. The Trout were packed, oxygenated and chilled for the 3h 30min trip to Wadalba. On arrival the bags of fingerings (25/bag) were acclimatised over a period of approx.40mins and released into Tank 1. 3 Trout were set aside for the Education Expo to be held this week at Lake Haven Shopping Centre. All fish survived the trip and quickly settled into our system.
Big thanks to Russell and Meg.
