Seth Green of Rochester NY "invented" the fish farms circa 1865. His intention was that everyone could enjoy fish at a reasonable price.

He shipped 10,000 shad to the sacramento river and numerous other species into the nations rivers.

His fish farm in Caledonia still exists.

Releasing fingerlings inot our natural waterways is the way to go.

That’s an interesting point - farming the fingerlings and releasing them into the water ways. That could increase populations. Another thing that could help is an increase of structure off shore. Those created habitats can actually increase the food pyramid at all levels.

We need to increase the fish populations for the benefit of all types of fishing.
