> Hello Robert and Caspar,
> Robert-- I enjoyed very much your presentation-in-the FMCS workshop in
> Columbus. Caspar- love the CFI shirt!
> I am contacting you NANFA folk now for some advice/guidance/help
regarding
> captive spawning and rearing of striped shiners (Luxilus
chrysocephalus).
> Robert mentioned in his talk that shiners were generally pretty easy to
work
> with and I hope that is the case with striped shiners. If you can help
me

> information or forward this on to someone who might, Ibd appreciate it
> greatly.
> The reason for my inquiry is a desire to get some school kids involved in
an
> effort to restore populations of certain fish species to the Pigeon River
> (in western NC, shared with TN, and a tributary of the French Broad R.),
> which
> is recovering from a long history of severe pollution. Several classes
are
> interested in doing this and we and some partners can set them up with
> aquaria, fish, and everything else that theybll need (hopefully). One
> potential
> problem is summer vacation interfering with spawning time. We might
consider
> manipulating temps & photoperiod to initiate spawning earlier/later than
in
> the
> wild?
> Thanks much in advance for any advice you can provide,
