The purpose of this
objective is to deliver information generated by the project's research.
The Extension effort also will conduct farm-level research with the
cooperation of producers and other institutions engaged in aquaculture
teaching and research. A yield verification program designed to document
production efficiency of rainbow trout in flowing water systems will
be conducted at two working farms in southern West Virginia. Jonathan
Eya with West Virginia State College, and Julie Delabbio with Bluefield
State College are engaged in this program. Julie Bebak, a DVM with The
Conservation Fund's Freshwater Institute, will sample up to 20 public
and private trout production facilities in a health survey designed
to assist with hatchery health certification.
