Hidden Falls Broodstock Update – July 18

Posted by on Jul 18, 2016 in news | 0 comments

Broodstock currently stands at 75,000 chum behind the barrier net, all volitional entry. The F/V Windwalker and F/V Reiver arrived this morning to actively collect another 50,000 brood fish. Egg takes will begin July 19. We still need another 45,000 fish beyond the 125,000 or 180,000 fish all-in.

Spotter pilot reports have ranged from 200,000 to 750,000 chum in the SHA. So far this morning we are not seeing that kind of volume. We also have two cost recovery seiners looking for opportunity. Next update will be tomorrow.
