Local Fisheries Consultants Support the Salmon Recovery in the Northwest

Nov. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Aqua Sierra Inc., a local fisheries and water quality consulting company, is pleased to announce their contribution to the salmon recovery effort with the grand opening of a new hatchery in Washington State. The company designed and built a state of the art salmon hatchery facility, capable of producing 120,000 fingerlings annually, for the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis in Oakville, WA. The hatchery opened last month and should have the first batch of eggs in the incubator soon. The tribe plans to use the hatchery to build up the native runs of Coho, Chinook, and Winter Steelhead for the future of the Chehalis Tribe’s commercial and recreational fishermen and associated cultural tradition.
