I don't quite get the catfish stocking. Rutgers installed an infrared light so they could watch fish passing during night at the Island Farm Fish Weir on the Raritan river, it was hoards and hoards of channel catfish. After a flood where do all these catfish end up, that's right !

Maybe they will explain why they killed off all of the brown trout. The excuse about covered raceways doesn’t work since they were raised in an enclosed building
