ROB MCINTOSH Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I was sitting here (not sh@%*&^# here) thinking after I read the post on saving port, and was wondering if the ? was asked WHAT ABOUT SEPTIC for all these condo's that are going in. I was told that the pollution plant on lighthouse rd. will not be able to handle all the waste so it would have to be revamped or moved to a new location closer to the port side. Just think guy's wouldn't that make a great hatchery we could raise anything from eye's to baitfish, it has it's own water intake, the pools are inside and outside,and it has a 10" pipe running out to the lake 3 miles out for release's .

Smitty Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 That sounds like the perfect setup for stocking port. Should defenitly be thought about and taken up for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chilli Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Rob it was mentioned at the meeting but the concern wasn't the treatment plant rather the pumping station. It was said that it was due for a revamping so reguardless of the new developement it will be done to the tune of 11 litres/second more volume. Get in touch with the City for more details or go to the PDVC website and drop them an email. www.portdalhousie.ca I find them quick to respond to questions. Great idea btw. You could open something like that as a tourist attraction. I'd pay to tour a hatchery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 The Niagara River Angler's Association over the border in Lewiston runs a pretty impressive hatchery program. Of course they have 1000 members and some rich guy donated the land. If anyone has any connections over there, they might be a valuable information resource. www.niagarariveranglers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB MCINTOSH Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Steelheader:Looked into that many years ago, we were looking at swapping fish you no 1000 bows for 1000 eye's but the mnr got involved and a permit was required to transport the fish, when I told them we have a permit to transport fish for stocking they then said oh it would be a problem at the border and it was left at that, I thought the fish may need a passport and picture to get thru. But yes they do have a great opperation it would be some were to go thats close to get an idea but we may be jumping the gun here, first we have to find out if and when this could happen and then take it from there.If you guy's are realy interested in a hatchery I can make arangements to visit the two hatchery's we get our fish from when the time come's, and we allway's need help to collect the eggs for the hatchery from the river's , remember what I said about working member's well that is just one of the perk's of becoming a member. this may intrest Bigfish I'm still looking for an MNR leaision to be a gobetween from mnr to G&F. This is an apointed position by the exectutive and the pres. also great pr for the G&F so you guy's know what has to be done . Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 If you're looking for info on raising walleye, or are looking for people with at least a bit of experience with it, the dunnville,port colbourne, and stevensville conservation clubs raise walleye through pond culture. They collect their eggs each year in dunnville at the dam. Other than that, if you want a good read, there is a book titled "fish hatchery management" (piper et al), it is the bible of fish culture and has endless info on walleye culture, and even baitfish culture. This area you talk about, wouldn't it be a bit acidic seeing as it's a wastewater outflow?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Also, when stocking, temps have to be within a close range (hatchery to release water) if that pipe runs 3 miles out, i'm sure that would have to be a large temp difference?

ROB MCINTOSH Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Kevin: You are absolutly right about the temps, when we stock port we have to check the harbour 4 or 5 times the week before we stock, but this whole isue on a hatchery is just talk for now so I'm sure all this would be looked at first hand before we even got the ok, and as far as the pipe goes you would have to adjust your temps in your holding tanks before you let them go . I have been thru this a few years back and it would be nice if it finally happened. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chilli Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 It would have to be or the fish wouldn't necessarilly come back to Port D as they follow the water they were created in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
