I was reading an article and this caught my eye:

Quote:
In the early 1970s, he led an experiment that fertilized Great Central Lake, on Vancouver Island, to see what impact it had on young sockeye. The fish grew 35-per-cent larger and the run increased from 52,000 to 373,000.


Does anybody know if they still fertilize the lake or was that a one off experiment?

GCL is still fertilized by staff from Robertson Cr hatchery. From what I have heard, it is critical to maintaining the run sizes we have seen.
