                                                                      Salmon Stripes


                                    When we arrived at school after Winter break we were in for a big surprise! The salmon grew up! Most of them have lost their egg sacs. They look like they have zebra print on them, but not with the same colors.There are streaks of black and small dots on their body and their bodies are silver.These lines and dots covering their side are called Parr Marks. The salmon's Parr Marks help camouflage them. You can faintly see their fins. They've been swimming up to the top and sometimes they look like their climbing up the sides. Their growing up so fast!
