With rising environmental temperatures causing concern for the status of freshwater fishes,
captive breeding programs may become increasingly important for conservation efforts as …

We examined the effects of thermal shock on poststocking survival of fingerling rainbow trout
Oncorhynchus mykiss (mean total length, 99 mm; mean weight, 10 g), some of which were …

Hatcheries play a key role in augmenting populations for conservation, harvest, or both,
although rapid domestication and adaptation to hatchery conditions may lead to fish that are …

The vulnerability of fish populations to climate change is driven primarily by impacts on their
most vulnerable life stages. The earliest life stages may, in many cases, be more thermally …

Rebuilding wild populations often involves captive broodstocks derived from small, remnant
populations. We measured a hatchery program's ability to conserve genetic diversity when …

The environment an organism experiences during early development can impact its
physiology and survival later in life. The objective of this study was to determine if …

Many populations of freshwater fishes are threatened with losses, and increasingly, the
release of hatchery individuals is one strategy being implemented to support wild …

The hatchery performance attributes of three strains (Lake Nipigon [Nipigon], Siskiwit Bay
[Siskiwit], and Tobin Harbor [Tobin]) of fingerling coaster brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis …

For many fishes, reproducing early in the year may present tradeoffs for the offspring: the
drawbacks associated with harsh environmental conditions may be offset by advantages in …

Each year, millions of hatchery‐reared sea‐run brown trout Salmo trutta L.(the sea trout)
juveniles are released into the natural environment in the Atlantic region. The aim of this …
