Blog: Fish food on the floodplain with Jacob Montgomery
CalTrout’s Central Valley 2021 field season (Oct 1, 2020 – April 1, 2021) marked the much-awaited second year study of large-scale Fish Food export. For some brief background, the Fish Food export program is CalTrout’s novel management practice for transferring benefits of winter-flooded habitat that juvenile salmon can not get to, back to fish wedged between the river levee system. The Fish Food program is the compliment to the Nigiri Project. With Nigiri, we bring fish onto the floodplain, and with Fish Food, we bring the floodplain back to the fish.
