On a tributary of the Clatskanie River, near Astoria, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has set up a “hatchbox.”
It’s basically six large barrels: three that filter the stream water and three that carry trays of salmon eggs so the water can flow over them.
Tom Stahl, with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said hatchboxes can be useful tools in the attempt to restore salmon to local waterways.
