Скачать или смотреть Want to See SALMON UP CLOSE? Tour California's Nimbus Fish Hatchery

Join Dr. Jackson Gross as he takes you behind the scenes at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Nimbus Fish Hatchery, where thousands of Chinook salmon (king salmon) return each year to Sacramento on the American River to complete their life cycle.

This immersive tour captures the full aquaculture process in action. Watch biologists carefully hand spawn salmon. Fish are harvested using an electric stunner and sorted to fertilize fish eggs. The salmon eggs are disinfected and placed in specialized egg jars and heath trays for incubation. Learn how hatchery staff monitor water quality, sort out diseased eggs, and rear young salmon and steelhead trout in tanks and concrete raceways.

Whether you're curious about fish breeding, salmon farming, or simply fascinated by the Pacific salmon life cycle, this video provides rare access to one of the busiest salmon hatcheries in the state.

This video also includes a special segment on fish welfare research and alternative stunning methods.
