Wanted: Information on Disruption of Kokanee Salmon Spawning Efforts

NAVAJO LAKE – New Mexico's annual kokanee salmon spawning efforts were derailed when its Navajo Lake holding pens were vandalized on Friday, Oct. 20. Each fall salmon are gathered into holding pens to allow New Mexico Game and Fish Department staff to manually spawn them prior to taking the fertilized eggs to our hatchery. The holding pen was found dragged from the lake and hundreds of salmon inside waiting for spawn were missing.
"The loss of this spawn has dramatic impacts on future kokanee fishing opportunities, as they do not sustain their populations via natural spawning," said Kirk Patten the Department's chief of fisheries. Kokanee salmon populations are already low and declining due to drought and warm temperatures, which makes the impacts of this vandalism even worse. Each fall during the salmon's once-a-year spawning season, the Department attempts to artificially spawn several thousand salmon to hatch and rear the eggs in its Los Ojos Hatchery.
