On the waterfront in Edmonds yesterday I happened on a few people watching someone pouring water from a large hose into - more water. I HAD to check this out! It turns out these were a group of a few thousand 1 year Coho salmon being transferred from the Willow Creek Salmon hatchery to a holding pen. These will reside here for a few months with the intent that they will "imprint" the area and then be released, with the hopes they will return and spawn.
Pumping out the salmon into the pen. Has to be a rude shock to the fish, huh? The good news is there were only a couple of the fish that didn't survive.
I had my shutter speed up pretty high in order to catch the detail of the water and fish. Taken with 100-400mm lens and 1.4 extender.
This shows a bit more detail on how many fish go through the pipe. Don't think the gulls didn't notice!
