The Fisheries Division works to ensure the health and vitality of Nevada's fish in its network of streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Hatcheries produce and stock fish, and biologists manage fish and amphibian populations, water quality and aquatic habitat.

Fish management tools:

• Hatcheries and rearing stations plus stocking program
• Stream surveys
• Electro-fishing and netting population surveys
• Acquisition of Habitat and conservation pools
• Water quality and habitat enhancement

Fisheries issues:

• Municipal, industrial and agricultural water use
• Endemic and endangered species
