The Ouray facility consists of a 36,000-gallon indoor recirculation hatchery with 27 eight-foot circular fiberglass tanks and 30 four-foot circular fiberglass tanks. The isolation room has been rebuilt with a separate recirculation system containing 19 three-foot circular fiberglass tanks which also doubles as a 19-jar egg incubation hatchery during spawning season. Water temperatures can be manipulated to run anywhere between 54 F and 72 F depending upon fish and/or egg needs. There are also 24 -- 0.2-acre production ponds, and 12 -- 0.5 acre broodstock broodstock
The reproductively mature adults in a population that breed (or spawn) and produce more individuals (offspring or progeny).
