Tenji was just awarded the contract to build exhibit aquariums for the U. S. Fish And Wildlife Service’s new interpretive center at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery in Missouri. This hatchery was establish in 1888 and is one of the oldest in the country. Over 130 species of cold, cool, and warm water fish have been produced at the Neosho NFH since it was established. The current focus is on paddlefish and lake sturgeon restoration, pallid sturgeon recovery, production of rainbow trout for mitigation, and native mussel propagation.
For a fascinating history of the hatchery, pick up Kay Hively and Larry James’ educational book “At This Place…A History Of The Neosho National Fish Hatchery.”
