First Connecticut River Atlantic salmon dies at hatchery
The first Connecticut River salmon this year died at Berkshire National Fish Hatchery in Massachusetts. Federal officials cannot determine the cause. Plans had been to breed the fish with another hatchery salmon to imprint for river spawning. Salmon in the river were wiped out by dams over a century ago, and restoration efforts involve federal and New England state agencies.
