Every year, about 75,000 Atlantic salmon and brook
trout fry are raised for six months in tanks by Irving forestry staff
at their Black Brook Woodlands facility and at Juniper Nursery. This
intervention saves the newly hatched eggs from predators and other hazards
in their natural environment. In the fall, when the salmon and trout
fry have grown into fingerlings, they are released back into the rivers
where they were spawned. This brief intervention by the forestry staff
helps the existing, dwindling, trout and salmon populations increase.
