Texas Fish Hatchery Costs Cut Dramatically
The Texas Game Fish and Oyster Commission reports a dramatic drop in fingerling costs from 47 cents to about half a cent per fish. Advances in fertilization feeding and handling have slashed production costs, with 1939 costs at one and a half cents and last year down to nine mills. The hatcheries plan to plant at least 12 million fish, making current costs roughly one-ninetieth of the fourteen years ago. Anglers gain from more fish planted, though limited hatchery space and funds cap production.
