ClimateProgress.org (June 18, 2014) — California officials are evacuating fish from two hatcheries into state waterways in the hopes of avoiding “catastrophic” fish losses from potentially lethal water temperatures. Peter Moyle said he expects a very low survival rate for the fish, especially for steelhead. “They’re releasing 450,000 fish all at once into a river which is full of other fish, including other predators. These fish are hatchery fish — they’ve never experienced anything but life in a cement trough — so they are ill-equipped for surviving in the wild.”
