Limited evidence of hatchery genetic influence was found in wild steelhead stock in the lower and upper Clearwater River, Idaho. Evidence of genetic overlap was found in tributaries in closer proximity to the hatchery and in tributaries where hatchery fish have been used to re-establish and supplement extirpated wild stocks. The genetic overlap could be from contemporary or historical influences. The paper outlines a useful genetic tool to assess the influence of hatchery fish in management scenarios where two stocks of fish (hatchery and wild) overlap.

Think of a colleague who has made a difference to fisheries resources in your state, to your career, or to your field of study. Wouldn't it be great to recognize them and acknowledge their contributions? You could call them or email them, but what if you'd like others to know how much they have meant to fisheries, or how pivotal you believe they may be to the future of fisheries and aquatic science? AFS has an award for that.

A group of outdoors and conservation organizations urged the Senate to vote against H.J. Res. 27/S.J. Res. 7, which would invalidate the Biden administration’s recently finalized “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) regulation. The new WOTUS rule restores long-standing protections for small streams and wetlands that are critical not just for trout and salmon fisheries but also for healthy watersheds and clean water for downstream businesses and communities.
