An artificial spawning channel aimed at improving natural reproduction of rainbow rainbow trout in Baltimore Greek near Cobourg, has proved successful in its first year of operation. British Columbia uses artificial artificial spawning channels for the spawning and rearing of' both trout and salmon but this is the first time such a facility has been used in Ontario for rainbow trout. Thirty-nine adult rainbow trout from Lake Ontario were introduced to the new channel in April 1978. These fish began spawning soon after their transfer. In the fall of 1978 Ministry of Natural Resources Resources fisheries technicians returned returned to the creek and found large numbers of juvenile rainbows in the area. "The artificial spawning channel was installed by my ministry as an experimental project last spring," Natural Resources Minister James A.C. Auld said today. "Its initial success shows how nature can be assisted when the" need arises". The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority Authority co-operated in' redesigning an auxiliary overflow channel downstream from the Ball's Mill Dam at Baltimore as the spawning site. Favourable spawning conditions conditions were created by placing rubble on the bottom of the waterway, establishing overhead cover and regulating regulating water levels. Mr. Auld said the rehabilitation rehabilitation of suitable Great Lake tributary streams is a vital part of Ontario's fisheries program. "Migratory fish species such as rainbow trout, which depend on good stream habitat habitat fbr' spawning, play an important role in the fish management programs fpr Lakè Ontario," the minister added.
