The National Fish Strain Registry database is a broad collaborative program that provides access to data and information on our nation’s aquatic resources. The database houses information on life history, genetics, reproduction, and behavior of wild populations and domestic fish strains throughout the United States. The database is available for use by public and private producers as well as resource managers of federal, state, and Tribal governments through a registration process. The National Fish Strain Registry is a database managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Using Data to Improve Conservation Efforts
This dataset can assist resource managers with decisions on which populations will be most effective for production or conservation management goals. The registry assembles performance and characterization information on more than 35 species cultured and managed by state and federal agencies and private growers. This management tool can assist resource managers with decisions on which populations will be most effective for each production or conservation management application. The NFSR's vision is to provide a broad collaborative program that provides access to data and information on our Nation’s aquatic resources.
