Capilano River Hatchery Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The hatchery is located in North Vancouver's Capilano River Park (CapilanoRiverRegionalPark). The park covers an area of 160 hectares and was established in 1926. The Cleveland Dam, built in 1954, stores clean mountain water and supplies drinking water for residents of West Vancouver, Vancouver, and Richmond. Because the Cleveland Dam blocked the route of salmon migration and destroyed the natural reproductive mode of salmon, the federal government specially designed and built this salmon hatchery here in 1971 to increase the production of Coho and Chinook salmon. Hatchery researchers nurture the young fish in artificial tanks until they reach a certain size before returning them to the sea. Visitors can see salmon swimming against the current in their laboratory and transparent tanks.

In fact, the fish in the hatching base is really pitiful. However, there is a sign at the entrance of the hatching site, indicating that you will drive 6 kilometers forward. There will be a relatively large park, which has specially built a river for the returning salmon. The tourists also look more intuitive and interesting.
Salmon, also known as salmon, is a kind of deep sea fish, is also a very famous river-tracing migratory fish, it lays eggs in the stream of the upper freshwater river, and then returns to the ocean after childbirth. It is commonly eaten, with high nutritional value and therapeutic effect.
Beautiful and moving salmon tour! Let people nostalgia and forget to return! Beautiful water creatures!
Salmon, in Canada also has two factors leading to ecological crisis, one is indiscriminate fishing, the second is the construction of water conservancy projects, like the establishment of dams; Canada's solution is artificial incubation, and the Capilano incubation site in North Vancouver is the product of this situation, where you can learn a lot about salmon.
