In the early 1950’s, Dr. Richard C.E. Vibert, a French fisheries researcher, developed the original Vibert Box for stocking streams with trout and salmon eggs. In the 1970’s American fisheries advocate Dave Whitlock and the Green Country Flyfishers of Oklahoma significantly changed the design of the Vibert Box. A more effective nursery area was added and the overall size of the box was enlarged. The improved box was named the Whitlock-Vibert Box (WVB).
For Egg Planting:
The top try of the box is has to be filled with fertilized eggs. The box is then planted in a stream. The eggs develop and hatch within the top chamber of the box. Once the sac fry have hatched, they can slip through the slots of the top chamber to the bottom nursery chamber. Within the nursery chamber, the sac fry absorb their yolk sac, start to swim, and eventually leave the chamber through the box’s outer slots. The slots surrounding the egg chamber are 3.5 x 13 mm on the top and bottom, and 2 x 2 mm on the sides.
Size: 14 x 6 x 8,5 cm
