Salmon

I accompanied Kai's grade 2 class to observe the salmon in Oliver.  This little fishery collects the eggs, performs various tests and experiments on the selected salmon, and sends the results on to the hatchery.  We got to see the salmon eggs pouring out, fish brains being sectioned, and fish bodies being dissected in gory detail.  Kai and his friends were delighted.
