Hatchery Review: Carson, Spring Creek, Little White Salmon, and Willard National Fish Hatcheries Assessments and Recommendations

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated a series of hatchery reviews in May 2005 to assure that its hatchery programs in the Pacific Northwest are part of a scientifically-sound and integrated strategy - consistent with State, Tribal, and other Federal strategies - for conserving wild stocks and managing fisheries in watersheds within the Region. The reviews examined 53 hatchery programs at 24 federally-owned hatcheries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. All Hatchery Reviews were completed in January 2011. 

This final report and associated appendices addresses hatchery programs and hatchery operations at Carson, Little White Salmon, Spring Creek, and Willard National Fish Hatcheries.
