NFC: Re: Apache Trout on TV

Bravo--it's great to see the hatcheries making a difference in rare species
conservation.  Seems that so much effort is focused on game fishes and
stocking (.....well, I guess the Apache trout was likely once a game fish).
Just a quick question-- does anyone else know of particular hatcheries that
are attempting to rear rare species for potential reintroduction into the
wild?  I'm aware that the AL Game & Fish have been for some time attempting
to propogate Alabama sturgeon for potential reintroductions, and I've seen
that some of the raceways at hatcheries are being used to attempt
propogation of declining mussel and crayfish species, but that's all that
pops into my mind.  On a similar note, I tried once to generate discussion
and gain some idea of the aquarium hobbyists' role in rearing rare species,
but do not recall a response.  Does anyone on this listserve, outside of
academia or gov't funded programs actively attempt to propogate species of
fish that are considered to be declining in home aquaria?  I assumed this
may be a focus of the NFC, and figured such a forum as this could definitely
enhance conservation efforts for rare species by generating and
dissiminating results from such experience.  Just an idea.
