Re: NFC: Re: Apache Trout on TV


Colorado is devoting quite a bit of their hatchery resources to raising 
endangered fish...and there is serious discussion about expanding the 
program to include addtional hatcheries and species.  Of course, some of 
that is dependent on whether they can get whirling disease cleaned out of 
the hatcheries...that's been a real nightmare here.

And just to give MY agency a little plug, we've been working on sturgeon for 
years in ND, though I'm not sure if that counts since we just spawn wild 
females in captivity then raise the fry to a safe-to-release size.  (they 
haven't spawned in the wild for decades b/c of changes the Corp made to the 
rivers)
