ANDERSON, Calif. — The Coleman National Fish Hatchery released 600,000 juvenile chinook salmon into the Sacramento River last week. This is only part of the two million hatched in October, and the rest will be released in early January.
The Golden State Salmon Association originally brought the idea to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA fisheries in the spring. John McManus, president of the organization, said they were being produced in excess of the normal production target at the hatchery.
