The smolts are raised inside the lab before being released to those outside tanks. After 4-5 months, they are released to this natural pond before swimming to the sea. Coho salmon typically return to the pond after two years while it takes Chinook salmon alonger time to come back. Photo: Sonia - Viet Linh
