economist suntribune outdoors saturday june 8 2002 15 ringwood hatchery salmon survived opseu turmoil the recent ontario public service employees union labour disruption played havoc in a num ber of areas and inconvenienced a lot of people in the rearing of chinook salmon at the ringwood fish culture station the labour unrest came at a bad time but sources from the whitchurchstouffville hatchery insisted it didnt play havoc as seri ously as was reported by some media outlets during the recent opseu strike it was reported that an emergency situation was declared when additional staff were required to rectify deteriorating water quality and fish overcrowd ing at the hatchery which rears all of the pacific salmon for lake ontario as a result of this situation it was reported the reared chinook salmon were dumped into various designated seeding locations in lake ontario feeder streams lisa millerdodd ringwood fish culture station operations coordinator acknowledged that water quality at their facility was deteriorating but it was due to a reduction of dissolved oxygen lev els which is created when the fish begin to grow in stature in the tanks when the fish reach this size she insisted its a normal occurrence the only unfortunate situation was the timing as it took place during the labour disruption the only unfortunate situation was the timing as it took place during the labour disruption this she said was the only unusual incident this always happens at this mike hayakawa time of the year she said of the dissolved oxygen levels dropping in the water our production is to maximize the number of fish to the amount of water that we have when water quality begins to deteriorate it signals the time when the fish have to be trans ported out of the facility and into lake ontario however ms miller- dodd was quick to point out that during the labour strife no fish acquired any diseases or died when the fish reached the crit ical stage prior to being stocked ms millerdodd said as part of the essential agreement pact one person was on site to do various essential duties during the week days such as feeding the fish cleaning the tanks and monitoring oxygen levels on weekends an automatic timing feeding device was used to feed the fish when the fish were ready to be transported an emergency indi vidual was brought in to assist the essential person in the loading of the fish onto the trucks it sounds like we werent taking care of the fishthe term dumping seems a little misleading the ministry revealed that 408845 chinook salmon were stocked at 10 different sites rang ing from the credit river in the west to oshawa harbour in the east during the opseu strike as for the term dumping ms millerdodd felt the word used by media reports was a little strong it sounds like we werent tak ing care of the fish she said in response to the media reports maybe stocked could have been the word to use instead of dump ing of fish the term dumping seems a little misleading ms millerdodd noted the chi nook salmon were the only species being reared at ringwood during the time of the labour dis ruption coho salmon she said were reared and planted in february just recently atlantic salmon were reared and stocked after the labour disruption the ringwood fish culture sta tion is the only site in ontario where pacific and atlantic salmon are reared
