UTAH (WITI) — Where do baby fish come from? If you answered “the sky,” you'd be right...in this case!
In Utah, as well as other states, wildlife officials are making a practice of raising fish in hatcheries, flying them out to bodies of water in airplanes, and literally strafing them into the water.
The method allows officials to quickly reach lakes in rugged areas, and to make sure native species aren’t overfished or otherwise damaged.
One hatchery supervisor decided to make a video of the process.
“I got the idea to put the GoPro on the plane,” said Ted Hallows, who supervises the State Hatchery in Kamas, Utah.
