Montana Cooperative FisheriesResearch Unit On July 1, 1963, the Montana CooperativeFisheries Research Unit came into being. It issupported jointly by the Montana Fish and Game Department, Montana State College andU. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and unit is located at Montana State College,Bozeman. Its purpose is multiple: training ofprofessional fisheries workers, research onfisheries problems, and demonstrating fisheriesprincipals to other agencies, landowners, andthe public. Fisheries units were establishedin several other states at the same time as inMontana and are comparable to CooperativeGame Research Units which play an importantpart in the game management programs ofmany states. Fish Hatcheries. Taking fish spa The Montana Fish and Game Departmentoperates nine fish hatcheries located at Ana-conda, Arlee, Big Timber, Bluewater (Bridger),Emigrant, Great Falls, Lewistown, Libby andSomers. The potential production of any hatch-ery is controlled by water quality, temperatureand volume. These are most favorable atLewistown, Anaconda, Bluewater and GreatFalls. Thus these are the best stations and to-gether with Arlee produce over 90% of thecatchable-sized fish used in management pro-grams. Arlee is the brood station for rainbowtrout. A high-quality brood stock of these fishhas been developed at Arlee and this stationnow produces all the rainbow eggs the depart-ment requires. Prior to the development of thisbrood, eggs were provided by trapping wildstocks and by direct purchase from out-of-statesources. Not only do we now have betterquality eggs, but the supply is more depend-able and the cost of eggs has been re
