HOT SPRINGS — Just as Arkansans have been able to enjoy most outdoor activities during the current coronavirus emergency, most conservation professionals have been able to perform their job duties with some creative thinking and modifications to their routine. Workers at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s five fish hatcheries, however, have not been as fortunate.
Most jobs at the AGFC can be carried out with little contact among workers. Wildlife surveys, habitat maintenance and most fisheries fieldwork can be carried out individually or in open spaces that enable adequate distance between workers. Working on a hatchery is different, especially during spawning seasons when hatchery staff spends hours every day catching, transporting and monitoring fish in both wild locations and on each hatchery’s ponds.
