Recruitment of broodstock to the raceways was mediocre over the weekend. As of noon today we have 30 million eggs of the 66 million needed. It seems less likely everyday that we’ll meet the goal even though we moved 39,000 fish over so far. The net pens will be moved back to Deep Inlet Tuesday or Wednesday in order to capture and transport the last few thousand fish. We estimate about 15,000 chum at Medvejie waiting to come up the ladder. However, this will still leave us short. Normally, eggtakes go through September 25 and therefore we still have two weeks before learning the final outcome.
At this time we estimate we’ll get another 20 million eggs for a total of 50 million.
