Erie Steelheading's Circle of Life

photo courtesy PA Fish and Boat Commission

State fish culturists at the Trout Run nursery waters are shown netting steelhead for the Fairview hatchery. Workers gently scoop up females---males have already been selected---for shipment to the hatchery where they will be fertilized and will eventually spawn. The breeders will be returned unharmed to Erie tribs as part of the "Circle of Life" Erie steelhead program.
