Hidden Valley Creek, Como Creek, Poudre River and. Hunters Creek
have been used since 1982.
3.32 Establish South Platte River and Arkansas River Greenback
broodstocks at Colorado Division of Wildlife hatcheries. These
broodstocks will be based on a mixture of historic populations
within their respective drainages.
Eggs from historic populations of South Platte greenbacks were
shipped to the CDOW experimental hatchery in 1989, 1990 and
1992. Eggs from the Saratoga NFH and South Apache Creek were
shipped to the CDOW Experimental Hatchery in 1992. Although
greenback eggs and fry have been produced at the Experimental
Hatchery, fungus infections have eliminated a substantial
number of the mature broodstock now that malachite green cannot
be used for the control of fungus on hatchery fish.
3.33 PreAare reports on the status of the hatcherv nroaram. The
Bozeman FTC and CDOW Experimental Hatchery should annually
report the status of the greenback hatchery project. Annual
reports have been prepared by each hatchery.
3.34 Provide information necessarv for development of a loner-term
manaaement plan and cooAerative aareement. The Bozeman FTC and
the CDOW Experimental Hatchery should prepare a report which
addresses management topics pertinent to the long-term
management plan discussed in Task 7.0, and provides additional
information detailing hatchery aspects of managing greenbacks.
