I learned that there is no good level of DO.

I learned that our creek is slightly acidic.

I learned that our creek turbidity level is great and good for the fish.

I learned our creek has a good nitrate level and the creek can not harm any fish.

I learned that our creek has a very bad Ammonia level. There is not a Ammonia level that is good.

Our creek has a good speed that is Slow enough for fish to rest when they need to. And Fast enough so that Algae can not grow very big.

I learned that our creek has a very bad Ammonium level.

I learned that our creek has a good fow rate that is fast enough for algae not to grow to big and slow enough that fish can rest if they need to.

                                                                      HOW IS CHIMACUM CREEK DOING?

Dissolved Oxygen	What is this year’s average D.O.? 8.125 What does that mean about our creek’s D.O. levels? That means that there is a good level of DO that is not too high and not too low.
pH	What is this year’s average pH? This year’s average PH is 6 What does that mean about our creek’s pH levels? That means our creek is slightly acidic.
Turbidity	What is this year’s average turbidity? It is 44.7 NTU What does that mean about our creek’s turbidity levels? It means that the creek turbidity level is very clean and grt for fish.
Nitrates	What is this year’s average nitrate level? This year’s average nitrates level is 0.3 What does that mean about our creek’s nitrates levels? That means that our creek is at a very good nitrate level that is at no risk of causing harm to the fish.
Ammonium	What is this year’s average ammonium level? This year’s average Ammonium level is 1.6 What does that mean about our creek’s ammonium levels? That means that our creek has a very bad level of Ammonium.
Flow Rate	What is this year’s average flow rate? 1,972 gallons per. second What does that mean about our creek’s flow rate levels? That means that our creek has a good speed that is slow enough for fish to rest when they have to. And fast enough so that algae can not grow really big
Temperature	What is this year’s average water temperature? 37.13 What does that mean about our creek’s water temperature levels? 　The air tempature is 44.35 How did the water temperature compare to the air temperature this year? 　The water tempature  is 37.13

We went on a field trip to plant trees in Discovery bay. It was fun I planted six trees and we even got to name them! It was by a creek called Snow creek. It was so fun! Our teachers name was Chauwnce(Chawn Cee) I don't know how to spell it hahahahaha. Thanks for having us plant trees!

Needs: Zooplankton until they grow larger. Then they will need larger aquatic insects.

Dangers: Mergers and great blue herons.

Discription:Fry are small and have tiny goldish lines all the way down their body. They travel in large schools of fish.

Dangers: Spawning Adults, Gulls , Dippers, Sculpins, And Trout all feed upon young Alevin.

Needs: Yolk sac

Discription: Alevins are usually small and a little orange colored. They have a "Yolk sac " on the front of their body kinda below their mouth.  It will feed them for about a month. It contains Protein, Sugar, Minerals, and Vitamins.

 Dangers: People can step on them. Eroision can even be a danger because it can bury the eggs. Wild animals are dangerous salmon eggs also. Fisherman, Horseback riders, loggers, livestock, and even the casual hiker can be dangerous to the salmon eggs.

Needs:They nned cool clean water to survive. They also need trees and brush along side of the river to provide shade which keeps the water tempature cool enough for the eggs.The trees and plants also help prevent soil erosion which could sometimes smother the eggs.

Description: Small red round eggs with little black dots (eyes).
