Released Chum Fry Still Hanging in Byrne Creek
Several hundred of the thousands of chum fry released in Byrne Creek on Tuesday, April 25, by kids from Burnaby's Clinton Elementary are still hanging around in the creek. Chum start migrating toward the ocean not long after reaching the fry stage, so it's interesting to see schools of them five days after they were released.
Here's Yumi taking close-up shots.
(Netting fry is illegal, and streamkeepers do so under the auspices of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for identification purposes only.)
