Hatchery Trout Fail to Compete with Native Fish
Edmonton zoologist Dr. R. B. Miller of the University of Alberta says stocking streams rarely sustains trout fry. He notes less than 1 percent survive to the next year, and even with larger fry only 3 percent endure. He advocates targeting lakes with no resident fish, as up to 80 percent of plantings may yield in year one, then decline. He also questions spawning-season protections and size-based laws, citing 40 to 60 percent winter kill and poor spawn-age consistency. Legislation is being revised to reflect new theories.
