Our Last Day
On the last day we went back upstream. We had to fertilize the eggs. We put the fish eggs in the bowl. Then we put the milt in the bowl and stirred it with a feather. We had to hurry up. We put the fish eggs in the incubator. We had to go back to Kangiqsualujjuaq. It was so fun.

We took some males and females that looked ready.

Jimmy and Tooma carried the fish to our work station under the tarp.
These big males were definitely ready.
Tooma squeezed the eggs out.
There are about 5 000 eggs in one fish.
Mary put the milt on top of the eggs.
The eggs and milt had to be mixed with a goose feather.
Jimmy squeezed some eggs out too.
He added the milt.
Kevin mixed the eggs with a feather.
Tooma prepared the eggs to be transported to Kangiqsualujjuaq.
All the fish were cleaned so they could be eaten.
