With help from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and Oak Springs Fish Hatchery, three Sherman County schools were able to participate in a classroom fish egg incubation program. The Salmon-Trout Enhancement Program (STEP) allowed students to observe and participate in the development process of fish and understand fish habitat needs. Students monitored temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia levels, and survival rates. They also kept a daily log of the test results, egg development, and survivability. The program was a success, with all three classes having high survival rates of over 500 healthy fry released into a local pond, out of an original 600 fry.
Sherman County students answer questions about fish habitat needs.
