When we came back from the National on Sunday evening we put one set of Showa parents in to spawn and yesterday we put another set in another spawning tank. This morning both sets spawned which is excellent! We also harvested another pond of Shiro Utsuri today and I should really be sat selecting through them right now but as I am aware that I haven't posted much lately I thought I'd do a quick update for you.

Last week we harvested Shiro Utsuri and selected through 46,000 fry in two days. This is the same pond that we harvested a couple of weeks ago and took 32,500 fry out of. There are still quite a lot of fry left in this pond so I suspect we will be harvesting it again in a couple of weeks.

After that we harvested one pond of Yamatonishiki. There were a much more manageable number in here at 27,000. It still took a day and half to select through them all though.

Arrgh! It's 11.50 am - I'd better get selecting or we'll never get through all these fry!
