About this organization
Mission
Conservation Fisheries is dedicated to the preservation of aquatic biodiversity and ecosystems in the southeastern United States, concentrating on the conservation and recovery of rare freshwater fishes using captive propagation, habitat assessment, and low impact monitoring techniques.
About
In 2017-2018-2019 CFI continued to propagate, stock and monitor Smoky and Yellowfin Madtoms, Citico Darters, and Spotfin Chubs for restoring into Tellico River and other sites within the Little Tennessee River system. We also monitor source populations in Citico Creek and the Little Tennessee River. We continue to propagate, stock and monitor Boulder Darters from the source in the Elk River in Tennessee to Shoal Creek. Sicklefin Redhorses are propagated for restoration into the Oconoluftee River on the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Reservation. Yellowfin Madtoms are also propagated for restoration into historic localities within the North Fork of the Holston River in Virginia. Barrens Topminnows and Spring Pygmy Sunfish are propoated for future restoration work as well as maintaining "Ark" populations in the CFI hatchery. Marbled Darters, Blotchside Logperch, Sickle Darters and Ashy Darters are propogated for restoration into the Little River in Tennessee and Tellico River and Citico Creek respectively. Propagation techniques are being developed to "Ark" Tuxedo Darters from the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River in TN and KY and for the Carolina Madtoms from the Neuse and Tar Rivers in NC. Bluemask Darters are under propogation for Calfkiller River in Middle Tennessee. Buck Darters are under propagation for restoration into historic sites in KY. Propigation techniques are being developed to produce Okaloosa Darters for restoration into streams within Eglin Airforce Base proper in the Panhandle of FL. Monitoring populations of Madtoms and Spotfin Chubs in TN and VA continues. Conservation Fisheries also participates in several "Kids in the Creek" outings where we help lead aquatic excursions into our local streams and rivers. CFI also continues to present programs for local schools and organizations on the importance of our local aquatic fauna and the need to protect our rivers and streams. Personnel from CFI have given presentations during this fiscal year to professional organizations. In addition, we have attended numerous showings of a new film, Hidden Rivers in which CFI was prominently featured. We participated in question and answer sessions following the showing of the film.
