Purpose
The purpose of this grant project is to enhance recreational sport fish populations and provide increased recreational fishing opportunities throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Objectives
The objectives of this grant project are to:
(1) Stock 3,240,300 fish by December 31, 2018. (NOTE: TRACS strategy - Species stocking)
...
As species reach stocking size, fish will be harvested from ponds by draining each pond and fish will be collected in the kettle basins. Nets will be used to collect fish and will be immediately loaded onto hauling trucks and taken to the fish hatching houses and placed in raceways. Length, weight, and numbers will be determined for each species/pond. Fish will then be loaded onto hauling trucks based on stocking density/location. Liquid oxygen will be provided in each hauling compartment to sustain dissolved oxygen concentrations greater than 4.0 ppm. Dissolved oxygen will be monitored every 3 hours en route to each stocking location. At the stocking site, fish will be tempered to ensure that water temperatures do not differ by more than 5 degrees between the hauling truck and the receiving surface water temperature. A list of stocking locations, numbers, and GPS coordinates for each species is provided in Table 1.
(NOTE: TRACS Activity Tag for reporting purposes.)
