CONCORD — With the approval by the governor and Executive Council of the construction contract for the new fish hatchery facility to be built in New Hampton the Inland Fisheries Division as state Fish and Game is gearing up for adjustments to the stocking program.

“As part of the modernization process, because the current facility will be torn down, we will lose all production capacity at New Hampton until the new complex is completed,” said Fisheries Division Chief Dianne Timmins. “In addition to the temporary disruption at the New Hampton facility, we also had to reduce production at Powder Mill to meet EPA phosphorus compliance requirements. So we have transferred some fish to other state hatcheries and stocked some in state waters to accommodate these changes.”
