Ulju Taehwagang Ecological Center Operates Young Salmon Rearing Experience

Ulsan Ulju-gun Taehwagang Ecological Center will operate a special experience program, 'Raising Young Salmon in Taehwagang,' from November 25 to December 3 in the experience classroom on the second floor of the ecological center.

The experience program, which started in 2020, has become increasingly popular each year, and this year the number of participants has been expanded to 720 to allow more people to join.

Participants will receive salmon eyed eggs (eyed larvae) contained in Onggi pots and will keep them in a cool place at home for 30 to 40 days to observe the hatching and growth process of the young salmon. Once the young salmon absorb the yolk sac, they should be brought back to the Taehwagang Ecological Center.

Young salmon have a yolk sac after hatching, so as long as the water temperature is maintained low (8?13℃) and periodic water exchange is done, they will grow without needing additional feeding.

Those who wish to participate can apply in advance on the Taehwagang Ecological Center website starting from the 31st.

A representative of the Taehwagang Ecological Center said, “We hope this experience program of raising young salmon firsthand will allow participants to experience the mystery of life’s birth and recognize the importance of Taehwagang.”
