| The fish Wheel is a device used to capture adult returning Salmon. The
fish wheel essentially scoops the fish from the river and relocates them
live into a holding container. Later a crew will come and utilise these
fish for the collection of eggs and milt. The eggs and milt are combined
together for the production of salmon fry. Each year the fish wheel collects
about 300, 000 salmon from the river. The operation of the Fish Wheel is
seasonal, usually it is in use from Late August to the early of December.
Outside of this time frame it is removed from the river. Visitors are always welcome to come down and see it in operation. |  |
