Tank-raised trout released

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. – The Gulf Coast Research Laboratory released thousands of young trout into local waters Tuesday as part of a replenishing program. A portable fish tank brought 12,000 speckled trout fingerlings from the lab to the Cedar Point boat launch. The fingerlings were released into the estuary waters of the Bay of St. Louis. The lab’s trout re-stocking program was launched several years ago. The fish are raised in tanks then released to replenish wild stock. (Source: WLOX-TV, 09/27/11)
