The Fish Research Hatchery produces, cultures and maintains Hofer brood and Harrison Lake brood rainbow trout. CPW-led researchhas shown that these specific sub-species of rainbow trout have shown to be more resistant to the parasite that causes whirling disease than other sub-species. The results from this research have now been integrated into C...
The Fish Research Hatchery hatches and rears greenback cutthroat brood stock (mature fish used for breeding) for the Poudre Rearing Unit. Greenback cutthroat trout are listed as threatened on the state list. CPW's recovery plan for the species request a certain number of fish each year for recovery projects (reclamation and restoration) and recreat...
Along with CPW researchers and biologists, the Fish Research Hatchery is spawning Roan Creek Cutthroat trout in the wild. Eggs gathered in the wild are brought to the FRH where technicians can keep families separated until the genetics of each family is determined. FRH only transfers the purest strain of Roan Creek fish to the Glenwood Springs Fish...
Colorado’s hatchery system produces millions of rainbow trout annually. As new strains of rainbow trout, for example those resistant to whirling disease, are incorporated into the hatchery system, new challenges to rearing these fish arise. Along with CPW researchers, the FRH has been conducting experiments designed to optimize rainbow trout produc...
