OUTDOORS JUNEAU EMPIRE In a small, cold room next to Auke Creek, two women are two-thirds of the way through clipping the fins of 50,000 inch-long pink salmon fry. These humpies in the current batch aren't wriggling; they've been bathed in an anesthetic. After their surgeries, they'll be released into the wild next week to swim free.

A large order of fry

 Fist full of fry: Anestitised pink salmon fry that will have their adipose and ventral fins removed are in a holding net Thursday at the Auke Bay Salmon Hatchery.
