Delta export pumps grindin' up Threadfin Shad...

[Mike McKenzie]

Well most of you are familiar with the Delta Smelt/water export issues.. Take a look at what's happening right now. BuRec is guesstimating entrainment of 600,000 +- Shad a day. Statistically the survival rate for the salvaged fish is some where around 1% +- .The rest generally get ground up in the pumps or shipped south with the water.. How long can the delta support this kind of harvest of important sportfishing forage fish...The decline continues..
