This started on Saturday (23rd May) with the first of the eyed ova for Rangitata Headwaters being taken to Black Mountain stream in the Rangitata headwaters. approx. 40,000 eggs were placed in 2 incubators in this pristine mountain stream. Another 2 incubators were prepared lower down in deep stream and these will be filled with eggs when they are deemed ready to be shifted from the hatchery.
These incubators were filled with 80,000 eyed eggs on (3rd) June making a total of approx. 120,000 placed in this headwaters area.
