Reports done for Narraguagus and Dennys, but still need reports for the Machias and Pleasant. The data should be available this winter. Dennys tributaries not habitat surveyed as yet. Aquaculture fish were sampled for the Machias two weeks ago and they have a clean bill of health, but we are still waiting for the ISA results. Hatchery construction almost done.
Numbers are very low.
No reds documented last year but there were fry at four sites. Adult aquaculture fish for stocking have been sorted out and are getting ready for delivery to the Franklin freshwater facility and the rest of the stock out logistics are underway. Increases in aluminum are toxic to plants and animals. Steve is continuing a study from 15 years ago sampling Sinclair, Rocky, and Shorey Brooks. Matt Scott is organizing a seminar on acid rain to be held at UMM this fall.
