Upgrade the Cold Lake Fish Hatchery
$10.3 million will be invested in upgrades to the Cold Lake Fish Hatchery. Refurbishment that features construction of a new recirculating aquaculture system, as well as upgrades to key operating and mechanical systems. This will allow for the reuse of water during operations, which will significantly reduce utility costs and water use.
Nice announcement for us outdoors people. |
I hope they open up to the public for yours...always cool places to go see and get educated....

Those are some expensive upgrades hopefully the money was spent wisely. I know I could do a heck of a lot with 10.3 million and my background in aquaculture
Not familiar with this hatchery anyone know how big is it and what kind of numbers does it produce? |

10 mil sounds like a lot but when it goes into refurbs etc the money goes quickly....no complaints here other then open to public fr tours etc..I remember on the island going to the fish hatchery...always had fun...throwing pellets of food in the water and watching the feeding frenzy....

Looks like a nice hatchery. It would not take much to eat up 10.3 million in a facility of that style and size. Closed systems like that are more complexed than most realize. If I am in that area it is something I would find interesting to check. Even though I no longer mess around with fish I still miss it a bit Hopefully some positives come from the upgrades |

They do go crazy at feeding time. My son thought is was a good idea to go swimming with the 12-15 inch fish well they were being fed at my old operation one day. He only did it once when he learned trout will bite you during a feeding frenzy |
What kind of fish do they raise?
I “think” sask. has a more widespread restocking program than we do. T would be nice to see more catch and keeping in Alberta...I’m hungry. |

https://www.wisconsinlpr.com/lake-an...fish-stocking/ Just a tad more diverse than Alberta but they also have the environmental factors to support the longer list. Just interesting to see pike, perch and walleye, musky and even forage species. |
