NAMDAL AKVASENTER

This will be the first day of fourth grade. We went to the Namdal Aquaculture Center to learn about salmon farming. We went on a boat ride and saw the salmon.

The Rib Boat at the Dock

 We were in Flatanger Norway. We were visiting the Skei family. On August 2, 2013, we walked to the Aquaculture Center to learn about salmon farming. When we got there my mom, dad and I watched a movie about smolts, a fish that eats lice off the salmon, and salmon. It was also about how they grow and how they sell the salmon. At the end we asked questions.

Me at 45 knots

The next thing we did was get into GIANT suits and I felt fat! Then we went to the dock and went on a rib boat (40 - 45 KTS/ 45 – 50 MPH!) Then we went to another boat that was called the feed barge. We got to see video from cameras, they were in the fish pens, and then we went back to the rib.

At the net pen

We then went to the fish pens. There were 11 pens but only nine had fish in them but the other two were going to be filled when they move the salmon into them, when they become too big and fill the pens. After that we landed and watched the salmon jump, then we got to feed them it was so fun because the salmon were jumping and jumping and jumping.
