Private fish hatchery released infected trout
A private fish hatchery released trout infected with whirling disease into rivers in New Mexico, Utah and Colorado, the state Division of Wildlife announced Thursday.
As part of his plea, Babcock acknowledged releasing infected fish from his hatchery into rivers in Colorado at least 125 times between 1997 and 2003, according to DOW spokesman Joe Lewandowski. The plea follows a two-year investigation.
Fish were released in at least 72 locations in rivers and streams in La Plata, Archuleta, Montezuma and Dolores counties, Lewandowski said. He was paid by private landowners.
