Summary: Welcome to JGF Tales and Reports Podcast Episode 013 This is our last Episode of JGF 1st Season. We'll start the 2nd season August 4th, 2010. Please see our episode schedule link at top of page. I had the opportunity to visit the CCA/AEP Marine Development Center in Corpus Christi (Flour Bluff) Texas and enjoyed a tour of the facility. I was greeted by Robert Vega, Rodney Gamez and Ruben Chavez where I received a terrific tour of their facility. (Middle) Dr. Robert Vega, Enhancement Director Coastal Fisheries (Right) Rodney Gamez, Facility Manager (Left) Ruben Chavez, Natural Resource Specialist CCA/AEP Marine Development Kid Fish Ponds Broodfish Life Support Redfish Speckled Sea Trout Flounder Studies show that approx. 15-17% of fish raised in the hatchery survive to adulthood in the local Texas Bays. The Marine Development Center's research team have been able to determine a more true value of the impact our local hatcheries provide by using genetics. These paddle wheels above are used to prevent a pond from crashing by aerating, donated by SEA. CCA and SEA and others have contributed to improving this facility over the years and have been greatly appreciated in continuing and improving conservation of our local fisheries.
