Book Description
"The hatchery started steelhead production in November, 1982. The fish were brought into the hatchery as fingerling, 12 per pound. They were reared on site until the spring of 1983. They were then planted in the Salmon river drainage. A new group of fish were started in the spring of 1983 from eggs taken at the Pahsimeroi hatchery. The new crop consisted of both A and B strain steelhead. A total of 238,000 A strain and 68,000 B strain eggs were received. An experiment was started with the B strain fish to determine growth and general condition when fed Rangens trout diet versus Clear Springs trout diet. A Superintendent III change was made during the year. A Superintendent II also was appointed to the station to assist in fish rearing. Plans have been ongoing for construction of a new steelhead hatchery at this location. Two old 12' x 65' trailer houses were brought on site for temporary quarters for the two permanent personnel. Hatchery final design is to be completed in March of 1984 and construction is to start soon thereafter." p.1, Abstract.
