www.gcmrc.gov — Lees Ferry was stocked with Rainbow Trout in the early 1960`s. Since then, it has been a nationally acclaimed and world renowned blue ribbon fishery. With its value as a recreational play land for fishermen and safe haven for wildlife, the function and impact of the Glen Canyon Dam has become increasingly important for study and monitoring.

wfrc.usgs.gov — Viral infections are common causes of disease outbreaks and mortalities in both wild and captive fish populations. Due to the long history of virus outbreaks there is a substantial body of knowledge about viruses within the field of fish pathology. This project involves research and development studies which create, modify and apply modern More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Anadromous salmonids are susceptible to a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, including at least 30 bacteria and viruses. Whereas the impact of these microorganisms on salmonids in wild and natural rearing areas is difficult to measure, losses from disease among hatchery salmonids are both common and well documented. The immunology laboratory More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Salmonid species in the Pacific Northwest continue to decline despite management efforts to mitigate the effects of development of the Columbia River basin and power system. Altered fish species diversity and changes in the aquatic habitat have created the need for research to determine the status, life history, and habitat requirements of at risk More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Ballast water discharges are the most significant cause of aquatic biological invasions in coastal waters, including the Great Lakes. Currently, treatment of ballast water prior to discharge at the receiving port offers significant promise to help control this problem. However, development of treatment technologies is limited by lack of objective More...
