Lahontan Time 2-04 to 2-06

[Mildog]

In response to a TU article a few years ago, my father wrote a letter to try and give the proper credit of the Lahontans discovery. Here is a copy of that letter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dHik...ail_thread

In the letter he states: "Bryce Nielson, also a Utah biologist, played another important role in this story.  He followed up on Kent’s discovery, gained approvals, and moved a few trout from Pilot Peak to a nearby Utah ranch pond.  None of the trout in this small stream exceeded about 10 inches, but once in the pond they grew dramatically to over 32 inches and 14 pounds in a relatively short time." This is a great example of the differences between indeterminate and determinate growth. It shows that fish growth is more of a product of environment rather than genetics and is very plastic according to environmental factors.

** worm and bobber That’s a great letter. Thanks for sharing that! I’ve always felt that Bryce deserved more credit for his actions and efforts in the recovery effort. It seems so many other get credit. If not for Bryce efforts they may not have had success.
