Check out this alevin! You can see its eye in the lower left and the yolk sac quite clearly! This picture was taken by a former student using a digital microscope with a 50x lens at Erma Stephenson Elementary.

Unfortunately, this alevin died just after hatch.  The students at Coast Meridian will be able to have a good look at the body structures and hypothesize what might have happened to it.

Thanks to the students in Mr. Bobrownik's class for this cool video on their alevin.

After a month of waiting, our eggs began hatching last Thursday. When we came to school today (after 3 three days off) all 54 of our eggs had hatched. Today we cleaned the egg cases from the tank and filter and checked the water quality. All was well!
