Program Overview
Sparking Wonder in Your Classroom
The California Fish and Wildlife’s Classroom Aquarium Education Program (CAEP) is a community-based initiative that provides students with an engaging opportunity to learn about fish species and their habitats. This program is equally beneficial to both students and teachers! CAEP lets you introduce science to your classroom through a hands-on, real-life experiment.
You’ll guide your students as they observe trout growing from egg to fry, giving you a unique chance to instill and nurture caring attitudes towards aquatic life. Throughout this one-of-a-kind experience, you and your students can foster a deeper understanding of the value in our shared water resources.

Hatching the Benefits of CAEP
When students raise and release trout they learn more than biology and environmental stewardship. A classroom egg-to-fish incubation project has many benefits extending beyond the classroom. Hatching trout with your students may lead to a newfound interest in outdoor activities, inspiring a long-lasting love of nature.
Let’s uncover some of the many benefits of this program.
