Rangitata South Irrigation Race testing.

Many hands make light work and so it was with the help Hatchery volunteers gave Fish and Game to conduct some testing at RSL. Trapping was carried out for nearly 2 weeks day and night. Many a cold night was spent at the site however the big cook ups made a difference. Around 10,000  hatchery fish were released into the Rangitata at Arundel for which the Hatchery was adequately compensated. No results are available as yet.

6 adult fish were removed from an area of the river near the intake where spawning was impractical and taken to the hatchery where the eggs were incubated and returned to a remote incubator at the RSL spawning race.
