In celebration of Earth Day tomorrow, we will be releasing the trout into the Peconic River! They are 24 weeks old as of today! We received the eggs on November 4th if you can recall. We thank the cooperation of the students, and teachers involved in this project. The student from the middle school, and high school students mostly from Mr. Suarez's AP Environmental class will participate in this event. As well as students from Mrs. Staufenberg's class participate in the release of the trout. The Brook Trout have grown very much! They range from about 3cm.-6cm. long! The picture used in this post is obtained from google. (since it's very hard to take a picture of an active trout) Our trout look similar in appearance of the pelvic, and anal fins(by the white highlights on the tips of the fins. Also the caudal fins(Tails) of our trout do appear orange around the edges. Although this trout might be slightly older than our trout(as you can tell by the mature orange spots) as our trout have not yet developed spots yet.
