Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 77 Fish And Wildlife (Formerly: Game And Game Fish) - Section 77.105.040 Delayed-release chinook salmon -- Freshwater rearing

§ 77.105.040. Delayed-release chinook salmon -- Freshwater rearing

The department shall develop new locations for the freshwater rearing of delayed-release chinook salmon. In calendar year 1994, at least one freshwater pond chinook salmon rearing site shall be developed and begin production in each of the following areas: South Puget Sound, central Puget Sound, north Puget Sound, and Hood Canal. Natural or artificial pond sites shall be preferred to net pens due to higher survival rates experienced from pond rearing. Rigorous predatory bird control measures shall be implemented. The goal of the program is to increase the production and planting of delayed-release chinook salmon to a level of three million fish annually by the year 2000.
