A big hit to two California hatcheries
#1
Within the next week approximately 3.2 million trout used for stocking by the wildlife department will be killed at 2 hatcheries due to a bacterial outbreak.

"Fish at the hatcheries have been infected with Lactococcus garvieae." And according to the wildlife department's program manager "their treatment hasn't been working."

"Lactococcus garvieae is a known fish pathogen affecting saltwater fish in the Far East, specifically in rainbow trout, Japanese yellowtail, and grey mullet. This bacteria causes lesions in the vascular endothelium, leading to hemorrhages and petechias at the surface of internal organs."(Wikipedia)



They expect the process of killing the fish and sterilizing the facilities to take approximately 4 weeks. This appears the fastest method to get the hatcheries back up and running.

While it appears this may be a necessary move I can't help but wonder how this is going to affect fishing in the areas these two hatcheries supply. Will other hatcheries be able to step up and cover their stocking areas?
