Neil Pugliese, Hatchery Biologist
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department fisheries biologist Neil Pugliese describes what his job is like. The process of spawning fish in a freshwater hatchery is detailed.
Big Bass
The new big bass exhibit at TFFC gives visitors the chance to see a huge largemouth bass (almost 13 pounds) from just inches away as it hangs out and occasionally has a snack.
Dijar on DNA
TPWD geneticist Dijar Lutz-Carrillo tells about the process of determining the parentage of the new Lake Naconiche largemouth bass.
Hybrid Stocking 2013
TPWD stocks hybrid striped bass in reservoirs with habitat better suited to open-water predatory species than to largemouth bass. This video explains why hybrid stripers are stocked where they are and lists the reservoirs that were stocked with hybrids in 2013.
Mussel Rescue
Freshwater mussels are finally getting some of the respect they deserve. Mussels clean the water in our rivers, remove pollutants, and help anchor the streambed in place during flood events. Mussels and some species of fish share a life cycle; both depend on having good quality habitat in order to survive. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department worked with the Texas Department of Transportation in a project on the San Saba River to study how best to protect mussels during bridge construction.
