NCCS is part of a four state effort to reestablish a population of Atlantic Salmon in the Connecticut River. The Connecticut River Salmon Association runs the Salmon-in-Schools program where eggs are hatched in classrooms from over 74 Connecticut schools. Once the alevin mature into fry they are released into a tributary of the Connecticut River. Our project is funded by the Jeniam Foundation. top: A fourth grade student monitoring water temperature for Atlantic Salmon alevin (larval hatched fish).
