Anderson Ranch took a similar hit 4 years ago where the fish literally all disappeared overnight. While Kokanee are one of the least expensive fish to plant per fish, they are also the most susceptible to any kind of stress disease such as bacteria introduced at the hatchery level. Pick almost any Kokanee biomass that is plant dependent and you can point to 3 to 4 year loss period in the last couple of decades of hatchery management.
Wow, I had no idea that happened so often, has this problem been observed in others states or just Idaho?
