The authors thank each of the Federal and State management agencies that supported
the project and provided data on strains managed within their programs. We thank each
hatchery manager, fishery biologist, private grower, and researcher who submitted
information. Without their contributions and support the project could not have been
completed. We also acknowledge the efforts of the many people who assisted with the
preparation and distribution of surveys and the compilation of the information; those who
reviewed the successive manuscripts developed throughout the project. The National
Fish Strain Registry was supported in part by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service through
the Sport Fish Restoration Act. Contract number: 14-48-0009-94-982.
