Jordan-Scotty
Fish Egg Incubator
The Jordan-Scotty Fish Egg Incubator is a scientifically designed and tested plastic unit developed to efficiently aid in the stream incubation of salmon, trout, and walleye eggs.
History and
Development
This incubator was initially designed and tested by Salmonid Technician Mr. Fred Jordan. Following this, Blayney Scott conducted further research, development, and design to refine the unit.
Production and
Availability
Scotty Manufacturing Ltd. began producing these incubator units in Sidney, B.C. in 1996, where they are currently available for purchase.
Commitment
to Conservation
The creation of the Jordan-Scotty Fish Egg Incubator is a direct result of Scotty Manufacturing Ltd.’s desire to contribute to the enhancement of salmon, trout, and walleye stocks in spawning habitats globally.
How It Works
1.
A pair of loaded plates are bolted together to create a “unit” designed to hold 200 single eggs or more, depending on species and size of egg.
Held together by nylon tie bolts and stainless steel nuts and can be grouped in up to 5 unit sets.
2.
Escape holes allow the hatched fry to swim free once they have developed in their protected environment.
The assembled egg units are anchored in streams by securing them to re-bar stakes or some other permanent holders.
3.
Incubator plates are available with three sizes of escape hole; use to be determined by using our Incubator Chart (below).
