This is THE operating manual for California Department of Fish and Game fish hatcheries. (I'm impressed that I found it here through the ISBN number!!)

It only gets 4 1/2 stars because it is actually pretty dated, having last been updated in 1980. Since then, many of the chemicals prescribed have been outlawed by various federal and state agencies, most significantly malachite green and soon to be followed by copper sulfate. Since we can't use the anti-fungal malachite green anymore, we now hatch our eggs in hatch jars instead of incubator stacks. Hatch jars are not even mentioned in this manual...but they have turned out to work better than incubator stacks, anyway!… (meer)
