[/FONT] [FONT=Arial](LAUREN KALBERER/KX NEWS) [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Those fish are chinook salmon and they are preparing to move into Lake Sakakawea. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Alexus Arthur is live in Minot to tell us more. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]The salmon grow to four or five inches when they are ready to be released into the lake. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]When they are released, they will spend the next couple of years traveling downstream on the Missouri River. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Once the salmon are ready to spawn they will travel upstream and return to Lake Sakakawea where they imprinted. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Typically, male return after a year and female come back after two or three years, but once they spawn they will pass away. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Then the cycle of life continues. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]The hatchery will collect the eggs, create new salmon, and release them the next year. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]"In this case, this year and actually the last couple of years, the chinook population in Sakakawea have been phenomenal and so we have a great population of bred stock there which means we have lots of eggs." said Rob Holm. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Chinook salmon enjoy the cold water and can stay comfortable to about 50 degrees. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]The four hundred thousand salmon will be released this May into the Lake Sakakawea side [/FONT] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
