GCRL releases seatrout

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. – The Gulf Coast Research Laboratory released 16,000 tagged hatchery-raised seatrout this week into the wild at two Bay St. Louis locations. The Seatrout Population Enhancement Cooperative program is designed to enhance the seatrout population. The fish released Thursday are among the first to be raised in the new Marine Aquaculture Visitors' Pavilion at GCRL’s Cedar Point site. The laboratory is developing a similar program for red snapper. (Source: Mississippi Press, 11/13/09)
