Fish Hatchery Management

Résumé du livre

The most recent Fish Cultural Manual published by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service was authored by Lynn H. Hutchens and Robert C. Nord in 1953. It was a mimeographed publication and was so popular that copies were jealously sought by fish culturists across the country; it soon was unavailable.In 1967, the Service's Division of Fish Hatcheries began to develop a Manual of Fish Culture, with J. T. Bowen as Editor. Several sections were published in ensuing years. Efforts to complete the manual waned until 1977 when, due to the efforts of the American Fisheries Society and of the Associate Director for Fishery Resources, Galen L. Buterbaugh, a task force was established to develop and complete this publication.
