PennsylvaniaSenators would urge fish officials to add American Paddlefish for stocking
Pennsylvania senators would ask fish officials to review and approve American Paddlefish for a watershed list that, if updated, would allow regulated breeding and stocking.
What it does
Senators would urge fish officials to review and add American Paddlefish to a list organized by watershed. If officials add it, the list would allow regulated breeding and stocking.
Argument forIf officials add it, regulated stocking could help restore a fish whose population has declined across much of its historic range.
Argument againstIf officials add the fish, regulated stocking could affect other fish in those watersheds, so officials may need to weigh local effects first.
More detail
The Senate would urge the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to review and approve listing American Paddlefish. The request concerns the commission’s list of species approved for breeding and stocking by watershed. The commission would have to approve the addition before the listing could allow regulated breeding and stocking. The resolution itself would not add the fish to the list or require stocking.
