California will halve its production of steelhead trout and chinook salmon at a major fish hatchery this fall because the federal government hasn’t increased its funding, a state official said Thursday. The Bureau of Reclamation is providing $2.5 million in the current fiscal year to the state of California to run the Nimbus Fish Hatchery on the American River in Northern California — less than the $3.16 million state wildlife officials estimated would be necessary to run at full capacity.
