La Crosse Fish Health Center Project Leader Rick Nelson traveled to Neosho, Missouri, to complete a fish health examination at the Neosho NFH.

Four lots (60 fish each) of production Rainbow Trout, being raised at the hatchery for stocking throughout Missouri, were tested for the list of certifiable fish pathogens as required by the current versions of the FWS/AFS Blue Book and the FWS Aquatic Animal Health Procedures and Protocols. All production fish were tested with results pending.

A special thanks to Ralph S. and Jaime P. for all their valuable assistance during the inspection. For more information contact Rick Nelson, Director, la Crosse Fish Health Center.
