2. Special Teaching Notes
a) Tours of Fishery Stations:
The following organizations provide tours and/or information
on aquaculture, fish hatchery and/or processing of fish:
- Fort Qu'Appelle Fish Culture Station located east on Highway 210 from Echo Valley Provincial Park.
The Visitor Information Center is open to the public during the week. Contact the centre for exact dates and times. To arrange a tour of the Fish Culture Station, write to: Fish Culture Station,
Box 190,
Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan,
S0G 1S0
306-332-5995
The best time to visit the station is from the beginning of May through to the end of July. During this period, the eggs are being incubated and the fry and fingerlings placed in the troughs. By the beginning of August, most of the fish have been stocked throughout the province.
- Rainbow trout fingerlings may be obtained for a fee by ordering through
any one of the recognized fingerling suppliers in the province. Some of these hatcheries may provide educational tours for the public. A complete and up-to-date list can be obtained by contacting Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management, Fisheries Branch.
b) Environmental Ethics
Encourage students to develop an ethic of respect for nature.
On trips to fisheries point out the vast variety of life that exists
in the water community. Keep to trails or paths and urge students
to respect all wildlife, not to litter, and not to abuse any living
organisms.
