News release: Coleman hatchery to release two million additional salmon in Sacramento River
The Coleman National Fish Hatchery, funded by the Bureau of Reclamation, hatched an additional two million juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon this past October, successfully releasing 600,000 fish this past week with the remainder scheduled to be released the first week of January. The Golden State Salmon Association proposed the project to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA fisheries last spring.
