Welcome to the Longwood Trout Project's Week Three Update! Today we observed that a majority of our trout eggs are demonstrating eye spots and red tinging. After further investigation under a microscope at four-times magnification, that red tinge is a result of a developing blood cord within the egg. Our eggs are expected to hatch around the six-week mark in mid-December, and we are very pleased with the development they have displayed so far.
