(6/7) The eggs developed and hatched very quickly. Within only two hours, cell division began occurring and within two days, the eggs were fully hatched! Now, we have 280,000 newly-hatched wiper fry just starting to feed.pic.twitter.com/N5v56H2iSW

(5/7) We take the eggs we collect from the striped bass and fertilize them with milt from male white bass to create a hybrid species — the wiper. This is a relatively new program we’re testing, and this year was our most successful experience so far!pic.twitter.com/VILGLsqY6o

(3/7) For example, we have less than an hour-long window to extract the eggs from the striped bass. (In contrast, we can get eggs from trout for several days.) This means we have to be really careful and quick, while also trying to minimize stress on the striped bass.

It was a special treat to spot this bighorn sheep this morning! Bighorn sheep were reintroduced to the island in 2019. Since this ram isn't wearing a tag or collar we know he was born on the island.pic.twitter.com/OvVR6vV0hY
