According to biologist Edwin Pister, widespread trout stocking in the United States dates back to the 1800s. [2] For the first hundred years of stocking, the location and number of fish introduced was not well recorded; the singular goal of stocking was to enhance sport fishing regardless of ecological ramifications such as erosion of ...
Smith Creek (also known as Smith's Creek [1]) is a 35.5-mile-long (57.1 km) [2] tributary stream of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Its watershed comprises 106 square miles (270 km 2 ) within Shenandoah and Rockingham counties on the western slope of the Massanutten Mountain ridge.
For trout, stocking rates of 30 to 50 kg/m 3 are normal at the end of a rearing cycle, while for marine species, such as sea bass and sea bream, the achievable load is lower, between 15 and 20 kg/m 3. The total volume required for a raceway is calculated by dividing the total amount of fish in kg by the desired stocking rate in kg per m 3. [17]
