The salmon eggs are have continued to develop. The eggs are starting to show shadows of the developing embryo. Veins and blood vessels are visible on many of the eggs. I believe we have one fatality among the eggs. The key characteristic for determining dead eggs is the color. Pale cream/white is commonly associated with death. The dead egg can be seen in today's picture. This is WLACE's first salmon fatality!

Does the "dead eggs" get removed from the others? Will the "dead eggs" just dissolve?
