FTSH Fish and Fish Egg Distribution Report OF THE NATIONAL FISH HATCHERY SYSTEM Fiscal Year 1990/Report No.25 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR ’ FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE THE FOUNDING OF CENTURY-OLD CRAIG BROOK NATIONAL FISH HATCHERY Atlantic Salmon were abundant in the free-flow- ing coastal rivers of colonial New England. By the Civil War period, dam building for water power and navigation to serve the industrialization of a young America, combined with many years of commercial overfishing, had reduced salmon to only a few populations in some Maine rivers. In 1864, the State of New Hampshire invited neighboring States to join in creating a Commis- sion to improve inland fisheries, including Atlan- tic salmon. By 1866 Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and several other States had joined. One year later salmon eggs were imported from Canada to State and private fish hatcheries to rees- tablish salmon in several rivers. In 1870, the Com- mission wanted to reduce dependency for its salmon eggs from rivers far removed from those being stocked. The Commissioner from Maine, Charles G. Atkins, was asked to seek a suitable site for obtaining salmon eggs. Mr. Atkins experimented with varying techniques of obtaining Atlantic salmon eggs through 1872 when the newly appointed U.S. Commissioner, Spencer Fullerton Baird, joined in the efforts of the States to enlarge the hatchery operations of Mr. Atkins. On March 2, 1889, the U.S. Congress appropri- ated funds for the purchase of ground, construc- tion of buildings and ponds, and purchase of equipment for fish hatchery and rearing stations that included Craig Brook. Today and for the past few decades, the mission of the Craig Brook Na- tional Fish Hatchery is as it was at its founding— to restore Atlantic salmon to our rivers.

Declines in specific fish populations during the past two centuries can be attributed to several factors, such as, overfish- ing, degraded fishery habitat, water pollution, dam construction, and other natural and manmade phe- nomena. While in many cases, progress has been made in overcoming several of these factors, re- source managers need to contend with ever chang- ing challenges in order to provide a stable fishery for species of interest nationwide. One such challenge is management of fish har- vest. Fishing pressure from both commercial and recreational fisherman continues to increase. Technological advances allow for more efficient/ effective commercial harvest and increased leisure time and interest of the American public translates directly to more recreational fisherman. Today, fish provide sport to over 60 million recreational fisherman in the United States annually. These an- glers spend over one billion days fishing each year which results in an additional 30 billion dollars being pumped into the economy annually. Experts predict that by the year 2030, recreational fishing in the United States will increase by 40%. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Fish Hatchery System has played a vital role in the res- toration/mitigation of depleted fish populations nationwide as is demonstrated by the following examples. Striped Bass: Historically, striped bass were one of America’s most important recreational and commercial fish- eries with millions of pounds of stripers being landed each year. However, by the mid- to late 1970s there was a significant decline in the land- ings of striped bass, and the need to better manage the resource became obvious. The restoration of striped bass in Atlantic and Gulf Coast waters is one of the Service's highest priorities. As part of this restoration effort, during the past 10 years, Service hatcheries in the Southeast, Southwest, and mid-Atlantic states, working in cooperation with state fish and wildlife agencies and federal fisheries management activities, have distributed over forty million striped bass of various sizes into the streams and tributaries along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. While the number distributed has re- mained somewhat constant, the total weight of striped bass distributed has steadily increased over in the last ten years. Today striped bass populations are rebounding. The Chesapeake Bay was once credited with hatching 90 percent of all striped bass found in the Atlantic Ocean. After 10 years of very low levels of striped bass production in Chesapeake Bay, the 1989 Maryland young-of-the-year index for Chesapeake Bay striped bass indicated that striped bass numbers in the Bay had increased signifi- cantly. As a result of the Maryland index, some states reopened their striped bass fishery to lim- ited harvest in 1990. Hatchery rearing and stocking of striped bass alone cannot sustain a healthy striped bass popu- lation for the future. However, together with har- vest restrictions, efforts to reduce water pollution in breeding grounds, and expanded knowledge of the biological needs of striped bass, hatchery rear- ing and stocking has played and will continue to play a key role in the recovery of this species.

During the early 1800s, the once plentiful Atlantic salmon underwent a drastic de- cline in several of the major river systems of New England due to the construction of dams, water pollution, and over-fishing. As part of a coopera- tive effort between state and federal fisheries agen- cies to restore Atlantic salmon, Service hatcheries have distributed over 26 million Atlantic salmon with a combined weight in excess of one and one- half million pounds in New England rivers during the past 10 years. The majority of the fish were stocked in the Penobscot, Connecticut, Merrimack, Union, and St. Croix Rivers. While current numbers of returning adults fall short of maintaining a healthy sport fishery for At- lantic salmon, there are many reasons for opti- mism. Several fish passages have recently been completed at hydroelectric plants with more scheduled for completion in the near future. These will allow for fish to access more of the excellent salmon habitat that currently exists. Cultural tech- niques and artificial diets for Atlantic salmon have improved significantly in recent years and more fish are reaching the smolt stage (ready to begin migration to the ocean) at one year versus two or more years as was common in the past. The in- creased availability of eggs from returning adults also is a positive indicator for the future of Atlan- tic salmon. Ten Years of Fish Distribution for Atlantic Salmon LZ eA EZ “ZZ — ZF \o i=) A Pacific Salmon and Steelhead Trout: During the past 20 years, Pacific salmon and steel- head management has been plagued by bitter con- flict and litigation in the Northwest. However, in recent years anadromous fish producing States, the 24 Indian tribes with treaty fishing rights, and the Federal Government have worked coopera- tively to manage these important resources. The Service is an integral part of this closely coordi- nated interagency network involved with the pro- duction and management of Pacific salmon and steelhead trout on the West Coast. The Service’ fisheries program in the Northwest consists of restoring and mitigating for salmon and steelhead losses as a result of Federal power and water development projects, changing land use practices, and pollution. Fish losses as a result of these actions are replaced by a combination of hatchery production and habitat rehabilitation to improve natural production. Fish production at a network of 17 National Fish Hatcheries resulted in the release of over 701 million Pacific salmon and steelhead with a combined weight of 22 million pounds during the past 10 years. The continued successful management of Pacific salmon and steelhead is vitally important to the Northwest economy. In 1986, the commercial salmon harvest in Washington, Oregon, and Cali- fornia was over 7,100,000 fish with a value esti- mated at over $230,000,000. The most recent figures available for sport fishing show that, in 1986, sports men and women caught 940,000 salmon worth a total of $107,500,000. In addition, the Treaty Indian net fishery on the Columbia River yielded another 138,000 salmon. Most salmon produced in the Columbia River Basin and along the Washington coast migrate north- ward and many are caught in British Columbia and Alaska fisheries, providing significant contri- bution to the economies of these areas.

The combined effects of an unregulated fishery, habitat destruction, water pollution, and the inva- sion of the parasitic sea lamprey eliminated lake trout in Lakes Erie, Ontario, and Michigan, with only vestigial populations remaining in Lakes Su- perior and Huron by the early 1950s. As part of a combined effort of state and federal (both the United States and Canada) fisheries agencies to restore lake trout populations in the Great Lakes, Service hatcheries have distributed nearly 67 mil- lion lake trout of various sizes with a combined weight in excess of three million pounds during the last 10 years. Restoration efforts for lake trout in the Great Lakes have relied on several factors, one of which is the stocking of hatchery reared lake trout (initi- ated by the Service in 1955). Intense efforts to control sea lampreys, important predators of lake trout, have been successful in the Great Lakes with sea lamprey populations presently being held to 10 percent of pretreatment population levels. Close regulation of harvest, reduction in water pollution, improved fish habitat, and continued re- search of those factors thought to be most critical to the survival of stocked fish (including site of re- lease, culture techniques, and artificial diets fed in hatcheries) also have played an important role in restoration efforts. While progress in restoring lake trout has been made in all Lakes, the degree of progress has been Lake specific. In Lake Ontario, survival of adult lake trout exceeded 65 percent for the first time on record in 1987. The eastern end of Lake Superior has been essentially rehabilitated with a healthy population of adult lake trout. Lake Huron is showing increasing signs of natural reproduction with more unmarked lake trout being recovered each year. Natural re- production in Lake Michigan has produced fry, but unmarked (non-hatchery) fingerlings have yet to be found. In addition to the contributions made by the Service's fish production units toward restoring/ preserving our nation’s valuable fishery resources, the Service operates various fish technology cen- ters, fish health centers/offices, and fishway facili- ties as a part of the National Fish Hatchery System. This report summarizes the distribution of fish and fish eggs by the National Fish Hatchery Sys- tem for the period of October 1, 1989, through September 30, 1990.
