Thanks for the awesome tour! My four-year-old watched it along with me, we had to pause it every two minutes so that he would take another bite of his dinner which he didn’t want to eat. It was interesting enough that he is now almost done with his dinner… You have accomplished a miracle! He wants to come and see it in person now!
We're so glad we could help out with that! We'll be sure to let you know when we open back up when the covid situation slows down! Hopefully it's sooner rather than later!
That was a very educated hatching and stocking video, I really enjoy it. Keep up the great work on stocking our streams and lakes for future returns and catch.
Hi Steven! Many folks have brought this up to us, and we agree- the fish waste would make amazing fertilizer! Right now, it goes outside to a settling pond. We don't have the means to separate the fish waste from the water on site, so it would take having a facility put in to do so.
Hi Jim. We do put rainbow trout and salmon smolt in Campbell Creek in Anchorage. With the salmon smolt stocking program, those smolt are usually in the stream for around 5 days before outmigrating to the ocean, so predation from rainbows on salmon isn't high. We also stock those fish in 2 different locations on the creek.
Great question! We do not currently have any positions open, but keep watch on the webpage I've listed for future opportunities: www.governmentjobs.com/careers/alaska?department[0]=Fish%20%26%20Game&sort=PositionTitle%7CAscending
It definitely isn't cheap to run a facility of this size. Although it costs between 2-3 million dollars per year, the revenues generated from the stocking programs carried out through this facility are estimated at 20 million dollars per year :)
This was fascinating and deserves hundreds of thousands of views. Thank you for spending the time and energy to produce this!

That was a great presentation.
Really well done! Good job. Let's go fishing.
Money well spent, amazing work
How does the egger work. We always massage em out, are you guys using pressurized air or is that water. (The needle devise to strip eggs)
Thats a very impressive hatchery facility. Very different from the ny ones
This was awesome! I learned a lot.
Couldn't that 25% of waste water could be used for agricultural? Fish waste water would be great to sell . Great stuff ,and very informational.

Super bueno ese hatchery
Great video
Do you medicate fish in a separate set-up? Because sanitizer and antibiotics can kill the nitrifying bacteria.
So much for wild Alaska
nice to see this
why do they put rainbow and salmon in the same stream when the rainbow eat the salmon fingerlings?

How are you handling the fish leukemia that has developed in salmon?
Hi Molly!!!❤️

Nice! I simply wonder how is the Almighty Creator who create all the things visible and invisible in this universe.
Hey Scott!!
Hi Lori!!! Thanks so much for tuning in and watching :)
Is this where the king stamp money all goes? Looks expensive.
