November 21

We received our second batch of eggs last Wednesday, November 16th.  This batch was not sorted with the picker, so there was a much higher mortality rate on delivery.  After sorting, we placed 232 live eggs in the basket and disposed of 224 dead eggs.  Both batches of eggs are currently in the same tank, as we are in the process of replacing our defect tank with a new one.  We also thought it was a good idea to save a little money here in the beginning by only needing one chiller running at the start instead of two.  The original set is progressing nicely, with some losses but the with the sac fry quickly abosbing the leftover nutrients and attempting to swim.  Looks like the first batch will be swimming well when we get back from Thanksgiving.
