  • Farm Manager, Adam Kramarsyck, removes egg shells from trays containing 55,000 coho salmon that have recently hatched at Local Coho, in the Finger Lakes region of New York. At this stage, salmon are raised under red light and carefully controlled conditions. The estimated survival rate for these captive salmon is over 95 percent.
