These fish are used for the stocking of private and public waters in Oklahoma as well as for fish trades with several other states. This HACCP is to cover the production of clean and healthy fish in hatchery ponds.

Some fish will be picked up at other locations (for example National Fish Hatcheries) and also stocked at designated waters in Oklahoma. The purpose is to create and maintain fish populations in Oklahoma. These activities will occur throughout the year as different species are stocked at different dates.

16 Oklahoma Striped Bass HACCP Plan HACCP Step Activity Description Activity Description Facility: Byron State Fish Hatchery Site: Zink's Dam, Arkansas River, Tulsa, OK Project Coordinator: Steven Spade Site Manager: Brent Gordon Address: Rt. Box Byron, OK 77 Activity: Collect striped bass broodstock from the Arkansas River to be used at Byron for production of Morone species. Phone: Project Description i.e. Who; What; Where; When; How; Why The Fisheries Division of the ODWC will collect striped bass broodstock from April -May below Zink's Dam on the Arkansas River. An electro-fishing boat will be used to stun fish which will be netted and placed into holding tank in boat. Adult fish will be sampled to select fish that are ready to be spawned. Selected broodstock will be injected with hormone, loaded onto a hauling truck equipped with live transport tanks. Fish are transported to Byron hatchery where fish are netted from truck and placed in prepared holding tanks for spawning purposes. Broodstock are usually collected in three trips where -70 adults are transported to the hatchery.
