Researchers at Pennsylvania State University are working with local wildlife agencies to boost Chesapeake logperch populations to prevent the fish from becoming federally endangered.
In the last four years, researchers have been capturing Chesapeake logperch and analyzing where they come from while also breeding the fish in labs and tagging before their release into local waters.
About 2,000 Chesapeake logperch have been bred in Penn State facilities and introduced into select spots of the Susquehanna River drainage, according to the university. "And we also put electronic tags in a whole series of fish we put in Conodoguinet Creek, to see if they migrate out to the Susquehanna River," he continued."Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to see if they came back to spawn, so we're continuing some of this work and seeking other funding.
