Volunteers needed at Seymour Salmon Hatchery
Posted on August 5th, 2008 by BC Ministry of Environment

Fin clipping coho salmon is a fun and rewarding task (Photo: Rodney Hsu).

The first set of coho are all grown up and ready to be fin clipped. For readers who do not know, the Seymour Salmon Hatchery removes the adipose fin from all coho salmon and steelhead to mark them as hatchery fish. This process usually starts in July but the cold spring has pushed everything back by about 3 weeks.

The hatchery will be clipping coho salmon on Sunday August 10th. Clipping will start at 9am and end at 3pm. There's room for 6 volunteers. It would be best if everyone could stay the whole day. Staff at the hatchery are hoping to do 10,000! If you are interested, please contact the hatchery.
