“This is a great opportunity to showcase Oregon’s progress, see what’s new in the world of fish culture and learn from others’ accomplishments,” said Shaun Clements, NWFCC Committee Chairperson and ODFW Stock Assessment Biologist.
“It provides an opportunity to share Oregon’s successes and ideas with representatives from other states and hear about what they’re doing,” said Clements. “We will discuss ODFW’s role in the successful restoration of Diamond Lake and the removal of Marmot Dam on the Sandy River.”
The theme for this year’s conference is “Enhancing Fisheries, Creating Opportunities.” Attendees include hatchery personnel and fish culturists, propagation managers, fishery managers, biologists involved in fish culture, educators, and students in the area of fish culture/aquaculture.
