Chum Salmon

Hello! We recently got 55 salmon eggs! Someone checks the eggs’ temperature every day and we all write the ATU on our paper. ATU stands for Accumulated Thermal Units. It is a unit of measurement used to describe the cumulated effect of temperature over time. We use this method to predict when our salmon will hatch and track our eggs’ progress. One ATU is equal to one degree Celsius. 

 

We are also learning about their life cycles. We will keep you all updated!
