Nashville, Island =D. It’s okay, I got to go fishing, kayaking, hiking, and sleep in a tent. The first night was horrible, the tent the girl’s were sleeping in was COLD, but when the other days came, it was like sleeping in a reg. bedroom, with spiders. So far, I’m waiting to go kite surfing and go on our 15 mile hike. Anywho’s, we went fishing, the seven of us students caught a Spatulate sculpin (Icelus spatula), Starry flounder’s (Platichthys stellatus), Chum salmon (Onchorynchus keta), Pink salmon (Onchorynchus gorbuscha) , and Dolly Varden’s (Salcenlinus malma). I thought it was fun, I never knew what the names of the different kinds of fishes were until I came to this NISS. So, I know more than I did then. The average size
Average Sizes for different species:
Starry Flounder – 169 mm. (millimeters)
Sculpin – 100 mm.
Chum – 41 mm.
Pink Salmon – 36 mm.
Dolly Varden – 104 mm.
The report river habitat characteristics for the average depth, velocity, and total discharge are 24.5 cm (depth), 0.57 m/s (velocity) and 0.896965 us.
This whole Summer Science experience was the best of my summer of 2009. I’ve got to meet really awesome people, go kayaking, hiking (first it in a year) and I know more than I use to about fish and their habitat. In conclusion, I’m going to end this blog, until the next time I blog. Ta-Ta for now
