In 1965, the Fish & Wildlife Service established seven
Fish Technology Centers nationwide to provide science and
technology support and guidance to the National Fish Hatchery
System and fish culture community. Today, Fish Technology
Centers continue to provide leadership in science and technology,
especially for restoration and recovery of native species.
With a focus on rapid turn-around, applied science, Fish
Technology Centers assist fisheries biologists “in
the field” with problem solving and new methods in
areas such as genetics, nutrition & physiology, biostatistics,
fish culture technology, and more.
Fish Technology
Center Mission:
In support of the USFWS
mission, Fish Technology Centers provide leadership
in science-based management of trust aquatic resources
through the development of new concepts, strategies,
and techniques to solve problems in hatchery operations
and aquatic resource conservation. |
