The Metro East Anglers and the Credit River Anglers Association are to be commended for their ongoing efforts to provide a quality diversified Lake Ontario fishery. The following is from the MNR Lake Ontario management unit.
This Memo is to update you on recent efforts by the Credit River Anglers Association (CRAA) to raise 10,000 coho at their hatchery.
The Metro East Anglers collected coho eggs for CRAA during the eggs collection process for Ringwood. The Metro East Anglers followed the provincial fish health testing protocols as defined in the agreement between MNR and the OFAH.
The 50,000 coho at the Ringwood facility are doing fine.
Unfortunately CRAA lost their first batch of coho eggs due to flow issues. This happens from time to time.
CRAA did a second collection through the District Office. The adults from the second batch of coho eggs were not tested. While fish health testing is not mandatory for community hatcheries, testing does help reduce the risk. MNR (the Lake Ontario Unit) discussed the risk with CRAA and it was decided that the eggs from the second collection would be discarded.
Since coho were still available in the river, CRAA did third egg collection and the necessary fish health testing was done. The results of the testing are not yet available.
MNR is pleased with the way CRAA responded to the situation and they followed the procedures.
We wish CRAA success in raising 10,000 coho for the Lake Ontario fishery.
