Keep your eyes open if you pop into Salisbury Library at the moment. The Library has a new arrival - about 500 of them to be more accurate. A new fish tank has been put in place by the Living River project with 500 newly laid brown trout eggs.
The eggs are part of The Wessex Salmon and Rivers Trust Trout in Schools Project which provides fish tanks to schools so they can grow trout.
The fish tanks have become mini rivers in the classroom, and are a great teaching aid for subjects like evolution, reproduction, classification, food chains and webs, pollution and water resources.
Not everyone can see them when they are in schools though so we have teamed up with them to show everyone along with the help of the Library
The young trout are released into the Avon at around Easter, with the proper consent from the Environment Agency. In the meantime though – why not pop along to the Library and see how they are doing?
