Fish And Wildlife Service With A Fisheries Program
By Rodger G Allenby
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Program and the National
Fish Hatchery System are the two primary programs that make up
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The Fisheries program
began in 1875.
Fishermen from across the United States count on the Fisheries
program to maintain the fish population and to ensure future fishing
opportunities. They are especially responsible for monitoring
species of fish that are in danger of extinction and educating
the public about their conservation.
Planning And Management Of Animal Populations
There are many responsibilities assigned directly to the Fish
and Wildlife Management Assistance program of the Fish and Wildlife
Service. The management assistance part of the name refers to
their planning and management services, with regard to animal
populations.
While not directly involved, they participate in the planning
end of restoring endangered fish populations. They monitor the
numbers of fish in the hatcheries and how long they have been
there, and they monitor, regulate and prevent the invasion of
predator species.
Public Education And Fish Breeding
When repopulating does occur, the program monitors the repopulation
to see how effective it is. Public education regarding conservation
is their final responsibility.
The National Fish Hatchery program has multi-functional responsibilities.
They use hatcheries to breed fish that have no genetic defects
and then place them into the wild to repopulate in areas that
are depleted.
The hatchery workers do research to identify and try to prevent
disease that may be affecting fish and aquatic wildlife. In addition
to all of this, they also provide refuge habitats to fish that
have become an endangered species, as an attempt to allow them
time to breed for the purpose of repopulating.
Enforcement Of Limits
The Fish and Wildlife Service has a Fish Hatchery program that
does a wonderful job of ensuring the continued availability of
local game fish. Because game fishing is such a large part of
the economy in many areas, this helps to review options and ensure
the stability of those economies.
There are limits set for fishermen in all areas; those limits
differ depending on the type of fish being sought. Enforcement
of those limits is a responsibility of the Fish Hatchery program
and ensures that local game fish, like the largemouth bass and
the smallmouth bass do not become extinct from overfishing.
