Inland Fisheries Division
The Inland Fisheries Division conserves, protects, and manages the state's freshwater fishery resources for both consumptive and non-consumptive usersers, as well as posterity. This involves:
- Fish population and habitat surveys on reservoirs, streams, and lakes
- Fisheries research
- Analysis of fish population and habitat trends
- Regulation of game fish length and bag limits
- Management of non-game fish and other aquatic organisms including regulation of size and bag limits
- Oversight of noxious aquatic vegetation control activities
- Administration of various permits (including triploid grass carp, exotic species, sale of non-game fish, broodfish, introduction into public waters, and scientific permits)
- Review of sand, shell, gravel and marl permits, as well as dredging permits
- Fishery and fishing education
- Outreach of targeted user groups
- Dissemination of both technical and general information via publications, presentations, etc., and
- Production of various hatchery raised fish species for both management and research purposes.
To perform these functions optimally, the Division routinely works with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as universities and other divisions.
Minor purchases are carried out as assigned by all staff members, whereas administrative staff authorize all major purchases. In most cases inquiries about major purchases should be directed to Austin or Regional office staff.
