- Fisheries Division - Administration & Finance Division
Executive Action: Department of Fish, wildlife and Parks - Fisheries Division
Mr. Roger Lloyd, Legislative Fiscal Analyst (LFA) , passed out the current week's fiscal status sheet for this subcommittee EXHIBIT 1 and a summary of all the subcommittees' budgets. EXHIBIT 2
HEARING ON DEPARTMENT OF FISH, WILDLIFE AND PARKS Fisheries Division
Mr. Lloyd gave an overview of the division's budget. Approximately $2 million per year in adjustments has been made to the base of this budget, primarily to be funded from federal Dingell-Johnson and Corps of Engineers revenues. Fully funding the operating budget will compensate for the early retirement costs which were paid out of that budget in the current biennium. Contracted services (Present Law (PL) Adjustment No.7) and

grants (PL No. 11) requests, if considered as one, would indicate a 90% increase over FY 94. He announced the executive had requested Present Law (PL) Adjustment No. 13 on p. C-20 be reduced by $300,000 each year.
Mr. Larry Peterman, Administrator of the Fisheries Division, then gave his overview. The emphasis of the division is on wild trout and wild fish habitat management. 98% of the fish fr~m the division's hatcheries go to about 500 bodies of water, mostly lakes and farm ponds where there is limited or no natural reproduction. The division also works to provide access to public water for fishing. Habitat management activities include stream alteration review, administration of the Stream Protection Act and participation with the Conservation Districts in administering the Streambed and Land Preservation Act ("310 Act"). They participate in 1,000-1,200 310 projects per year under that act. They work with the Department of Health's Water Quality Division regarding pollution, fish kills and pollution abatement activities.
Regarding river restoration, there is a program funded by fifty cents from each fishing license dollar, about $110,000 per year. The program has been involved in over 56 stream bank fencing projects. Several other funding sources are also utilized for river restoration activities. EXHIBITS 3 and 4
The division is also involved in hydropower mitigation. Much of their Legislative Contract Authority (LCA) funding is used in this area.
The division works closely with the Conservation Districts and the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) to educate the public about riparian management, fisheries habitat and how to stabilize stream banks and build irrigation diversions so as to not harm habitat.
For over 20 years the division has had an instream flow program aimed at maintaining sufficient flows for fisheries. Unfortunately the division has had to get into drought management as well, for the past ten to eleven years. In the past summer these efforts have resulted in closing the entire Big Hole to fishing to protect the Arctic Greyling population.
The division is also involved in restoring streams affected by dewatering. Users are paid to leave part of their water rights in the stream. Presently there are about five of these water lease contracts.
The division is also becoming more involved in native fish management in order to prevent endangered species listing. Many of the state's native species have low population levels at present. These include Yellowstone cutthroat, West Slope Cutthroat, Bull Trout, Arctic Greyling, Paddlefish, and sturgeon.

Tape No. l:B:OOO Extraordinary efforts in the division's River Restoration Program have saved the Arctic Greyling from becoming listed as endangered in the current biennium. The U.S. Fish and wildlife Service is currently considering putting an endangered species listing package together for the bull trout. The other aspect of the division's management efforts has to do with Montana Environmental Protection Act (MEPA) compliance.
The division operates eight cold water fish hatcheries and one warm water hatchery. The warm water hatchery is located in Miles City and produces about 15-30 million fish annually, primarily walleye. The cold water hatcheries produce fewer, but larger, fish. One of the cold water hatcheries is a Corps of Engineers mitigation hatchery on Libby Reservoir which FWP is paid to operate.
The Fishing Access site program currently has about 313 sites, mostly on rivers. They try to provide stream floating access for every five to six hours of floating time. In order to complete the Floating Access site program they need about 40 additional sites. The Parks Division maintains the sites and Fisheries improves the sites according to the location and level of use they have. As a result of this program, about 380,000 anglers spend about 2.6 million angler days in the state: in 1993 they spent about $150,000,000 in the state.
About 38% of the division's $7.2 million budget request will be funded from general license dollars. Federal dollars comprise about 40% of the budget and are primarily Dingell-Johnson (D-J) monies, which come from a federal excise tax on fishing equipment. The Wallop-Breaux amendment to the D-J legislation increased the excise tax to include small fishing boats and motors. A portion of the federal fuel tax that was allocated to motor boat use was also included in the funding from this amendment but this revenue is restricted for use only on fishing access sites with boat access.
LCA funding is derived primarily from federal and private sources. The small fraction of the division's revenue from state special is related to Glendive's Paddlefish Roe (caviar) program. Revenue from this source has been going down due to the drought situation.
Mr. Peterman then went over some of the new issues the Division is facing. There has been a major increase in division workload regarding private fishing pond licensing. In the last two years they have issued over 400 private pond permits, including inspections and Environmental Assessments (EA's). Illegal fish introductions are increasing, which is another big problem. Over the last 10 years there have been 160 documented instances of illegal introductions. Because of this activity, there is now walleye at Canyon Ferry and Noxon Reservoir, perch in Lake Mary Ronan, northern pike in Salmon Lake and small-mouth bass and lake
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 4 of 13
trout in Yellowstone Lake. Illegal introductions either eliminate the fishery being managed for or require chemical treatments. River use conflict, primarily on the wild trout streams, is another area which has recently become a major issue.
Regarding fish health, historically FWP has used six or seven therapeutic drugs in its hatcheries to treat disease but three years ago the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the use of most of these drugs. Getting these drugs re-regis'tered is a difficult job. In addition, the state's one fish health biologist is losing the assistance of the U.S. Fish and 'wildlife Service for the testing for bacteria or parasites in fish. The state has been given two years to take over its own testing. The capital budget is allocating money for the Great Falls hatchery to build a fish health lab. He stressed that not testing for disease was not an option.
A major issue which has very recently arisen is the arrival of Whirling Disease, which manifests as a parasite, in some of the rainbow trout from the West Fork of the Madison River. EXHIBIT 5 Prior to December 20, 1994 Montana was considered disease-free for the major trout and salmon diseases. From a management standpoint the loss of disease-free status is a major issue.
Tape No. 2:A:OOO
There has been a 90-95% reduction in the Upper Madison rainbow trout population, most likely the result of whirling disease. When the disease occurs in a hatchery the fish are spoon-fed and chemically treated until they can mature.
Whirling Disease on the Upper Madison will significantly impact the $31 million annual economy of that area. The Big Hole fishery is about 50% rainbow trout, the East Gallatin is 90%, the West Gallatin 95% and the Missouri below Holter is about 85% rainbow trout. These areas could be impacted as well if the disease is discovered there. The degree of susceptibility to this disease by other kinds of fish is largely unknown at this point. Resources have been redirected to determine the extent of the problem.
Mr. Peterman then reviewed the PL Adjustments and New Proposals for the Fisheries Division (pp. C-20-23).
Angler harvest surveys (PL No.4) involves about 120,000 mailings. The increase in this budget is related to postage costs and a proposed increase in the number of telephone followups. PL No. 5 provides for spending authority on federal money which has been secured and will be providing for the increased costs of doing this.
Regarding PL No.6, $45,028 is the amount of money which was redirected from the travel and supplies accounts for early
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 5 of 13
retirement. The remainder of the increase is due to inflation of FWP Motor Pool costs.
The increase in contracted services is slightly less than the requested amount for the current biennium. The budget has been underspent because some anticipated contracts did not materialize. Approximately $50,000 in each year of university funding has been transferred to PL No. 11. The rationale is that it will be easier to administer a long-term grant than an annual contract. The increase in contracted services is related to several new contracts related to therapeutic drug and endangered species issues. Mr. Peterman detailed the contracts FWP proposes to pursue in the coming biennium.
Tape No. 2:B:OOO
Combining replacement and new equipment, their total equipment budget request is about $218,937, which is almost identical to the 1994 level.
Regarding the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PElS) for the Fisheries Division, they are requesting to contract for personnel assistance. This departure from the department's using FTE to do PElS's is being tested out to see if it is a viable option.
The Fisheries new equipment request includes funding for two boats and motors for a new fishery project in the Lewistown area which was approved by the 1993 Legislature. The request for a forklift is related in part to the fact that in 1994 a FWP employee lost part of his thumb trying to lift something manually. The request for scientific equipment is related in large part to what will be needed to take over expanded fish health testing duties which the federal government is no longer going to perform. The division would prefer the funding for this new equipment proposal to come entirely from general license fees because it is a much simpler process to go through when small pieces of equipment are being purchased. Federal funds could be used elsewhere in the division.
Regarding New Proposal No.4, the reductions would be one FTE fish culturist at the Big Springs Fish Hatchery near Lewistown and a .5 FTE fishery biologist in the Livingston area. These are serious reductions because services in the Livingston area would be reduced by half and this is right across the divide from where whirling disease has been found. Eliminating a fish culturist from the hatchery system precludes FWP's ability to redirect efforts from the hatchery system to the fish health area. He asked the committee to consider cutting the biologist in lieu of the fish culturist.
Mr. Robin Cunningham, Executive Director of the Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana, then rose in support of adequate funding for research on whirling disease.
Tape No. 3:A:OOO
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 6 of 13
Mr. Paul Roos, a member of the Board of Outfitters and Blackfoot Trout Unlimited, spoke up in support of continued funding for the Fisheries Division and expressed concern about whirling disease.
Questions: SEN. JACOBSON questioned the division's choice of FTE for personal services reductions. Mr. Peterman pointed out that when the budget'was finalized whirling disease had not been discovered and this had changed their priorities.
SEN.KEATING wanted to know why EA's were required for fishing access sites. Mr. Peterman said the $10,000 being requested was the cumulative total for all EA's, which include areas other than fishing access sites. The State Historic Preservation Office requires a cultural and historic survey. Mr. Pat Graham, FWP Director, added that several years ago the passage of HB 495 had added about seven additional requirements to the department. In addition, there are several requirements under MEPA.
SEN. KEATING wanted to know why the expenses for the Clark Fork River investigation could not be funded from the Depar~ment of Health and Environmental Sciences' Superfund account. Mr. Graham replied that New Proposal No. 1 was specifically tied to getting supplemental fishery information and providing for FWP's data bases to be compatible for the ones used in the lawsuit. He added that this was a cost-reimbursable item.
In response to SEN. KEATING, Mr. Peterman said the historic level of spending for LCA's has been about $1 million. The requested increase in LCA is related to contracts from the EPA which FWP has just received.
REP. WISEMAN wanted to know the status of the Kerr mitigation. Mr. Peterman said the license has been issued but the fish and wildlife mitigation aspect has not been settled. About six months ago the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) carne out with a proposed order quite different from what had been recommended by the state and other entities and it is "back in FERC's lap" now.
CHAIRMAN DEBRUYCKER questioned the importance of transferring fish species to new waters (PL NO.9). Mr. Peterman said some of the state's waters have been so altered that the native fish no longer live there and new species are sometimes introduced in these cases. In addition there is a great public demand to introduce fish allover the state.
EXECUTIVE ACTION ON FWP Fisheries Division
Motion/vote: SEN. JACOBSON moved to accept PL Adjustments NO.5, 6, 7 and 8 on p. C-20; REP. JOHNSON seconded the motion. The motion carried with CHAIRMAN DEBRUYCKER and SEN. JENKINS opposed.
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 7 of 13
Motion/vote: SEN. JACOBSON moved to accept PL No. 13 at the level of $1 million for each year, and to accept PL No. 14. REP. WISEMAN seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Tape No. 3:B:000
Motion/vote: REP. JOHNSON moved to accept PL Adjustments NO.9, 10, 11 and 12; REP. WISEMAN seconded the motion. The motion carried with SEN. JENKINS opposed.
Motion: REP. WISEMAN moved to accept PL No.4. REP. JOHNSON seconded the motion.
Discussion: SEN. JENKINS objected to the level of funding for angler harvest survey.
vote: The motion failed with SEN. JACOBSON, CHAIRMAN DEBRUYCKER and SEN. JENKINS opposed.
Motion: SEN. JENKINS moved to accept PL No.4, but only the reduction in FY 97.
Discussion: Mr. Peterman said the net increase in the budget for fishing regUlations was about $6,000 and the angler harvest surveys amounted to a net $40,000 increase. He said in FY 95 $23,580 has been spent on fishing regulations. For the coming biennium, they are asking for more money in the first year and less in the second year. There is no figure for the angler harvest survey analysis for FY 95 as yet. In response to SEN. JACOBSON, he stated surveys are done every other year to find what the fishing pressure is on given bodies of water. This is related back to population surveys and is used for a variety of things. He said the surveys were necessary to provide documentation for federal funding.
Amended motion/vote: SEN. JENKINS amended his motion to accept PL No.4 at the levels of $50,000 for fishing regulations and $66,000 for angler harvest surveys in FY 96 and $20,000 for regulations and $30,000 for surveys in FY 97; REP. WISEMAN seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Motion: REP. WISEMAN moved to accept New Proposals No. 3 and 4 on p. C-22, amending No.4 to a .5 FTE reduction, so the fish culturist position could be retained.
Discussion: SEN. JACOBSON questioned why personnel were being removed from the field rather than from the office. Mr. Peterman said several office staff had already been removed. Only seventeen of the division's 106 FTE are located in the office.
Tape No. 4:A:000
Substitute motion/vote: SEN. JENKINS moved to accept New Proposals No. 3 and 4, amending No. 4 to remove one FTE from
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 8 of 13
either the Helena or the Bozeman office in lieu of removing the fish culturist but at a comparable rate of pay. SEN. JACOBSON seconded the motion. The question was called for and the motion carried with REP. JOHNSON and SEN. KEATING opposed.
Discussion: SEN. JENKINS brought up the possibility of drafting a committee bill to do away with the requirement for EA's on fishing access sites (initiated under HB 495, 1991 Legislature). Mr. Peterman said FWP would still have to comply with MEPA regulations. Mr. Graham told the committee the department would respond to this the following day.
SEN. JACOBSON wanted to know how much of the work of the FTE in New Proposal No. 1 had been accomplished. Mr. Peterman said the baseline data-gathering portion of the work was to have lasted two years. This second two-year period is designed to study the mitigation options and this work is not complete yet. If the case goes on for too long FWP may have to regather biological data.
Motion/vote: SEN. JACOBSON moved to accept New Proposal No.1, but as a one-time-only appropriation; REP. JOHNSON seconded the motion. The motion carried with REP. WISEMAN and SEN. KEATING opposed.
Motion: REP. JOHNSON moved to accept New Proposal No.2, as a one-tiMe-only appropriation. SEN. JACOBSON seconded the motion.
Discussion: SEN. KEATING expressed opposition to doing programmatic EIS's.
vote: The question was called for and the motion failed with SEN. JACOBSON and REP. JOHNSON voting "yes."
HEARING ON FWP Administration and Finance Division
Mr. Lloyd gave an overview of the division (pp. C-10-14).
Mr. Graham introduced three regional field supervisors that were at the hearing for educational purposes: Dick Ellis, Region 5 (Billings) Supervisor; steve Lewis, Region 3 (Bozeman) Supervisor and Tom Hinz, Region 6 (Glasgow) Supervisor.
Mr. Dave Mott, Administrator of the Administration and Finance Division, then gave an overview. The division is involved in the licensing of hunters and anglers. Nearly 450,000 license sales from about 400 retail outlets as well as applications for limited licenses drawings are administered yearly. The Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) has given favorable audits of the accounting and financial reporting functions of the division, which are done out of the Helena office.
This division also prepares and allocates the FWP budget and handles the integration of all staff regarding computer
950131JN.HMI
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995

processing. Finally, the division coordinates the two collective bargaining units' (wardens and biologists) activities within FWP.
The department manages its vehicle fleet centrally. One effect of this is the budget for this division is inflated. Almost 60% of the division's funding is from state special revenue from the general license account. 32.9% is proprietary and there is some double-counting'of monies in this area.
Tape No. 4:B:OOO
Mr. Mott reviewed the Present Law Adjustments and New Proposals. In FY 94 about $7,300 was spent for contracted services. Part of the requested increase, about $5,000 per year, is related to drug testing. EXHIBIT 6 FWP's hatchery and park maintenance personnel fall under the requirements for testing.
FWP was directed by the Legislature to develop a more comprehensive budget allocation system. This has been a successful effort and the system which has been developed is being used as a model for other agencies. $4,000 in FY 96 and $2,000 in FY 97 has been requested to do the maintenance on the system. Once this maintenance is done the system will be made available to all interested parties. He pointed out that the costs of maintaining the old system had been higher.
$5,000 in FY 96 is requested in contracted services for automating personnel files. $1,500 worth of software has been purchased out of the current budget and the PL increase will provide for entering the data to use with the new software.
License dealers receive 50 cents for each license they sell. The historic average has been about a 3.5% per year growth in overthe-counter license sales.
Regarding PL No.6, the U.S. Postal Service has switched to a highly automated system of processing mail. FWP has some licenses, which if not used in 1994, would have had to been discarded. Mr. Mott used up the stock on hand and as a result a reduced level of money was spent. The Post Office will no longer accept the old licenses EXHIBIT 7 so a new format was developed once the old licenses were used up. EXHIBIT 8
PL No. 6 has to do with the licenses which the agents sell. FWP's vendors have estimated the cost of the paper the licenses are printed on will be going up about 15%, about $6,000 per year.
A better title for PL No. 7 would be "transfer to the general fund." FWP adds an overhead rate to all its federal programs, mostly to fund support services. A part of it is also used to recover costs of other general funded agencies that provide services to FWP. Part of the increase is tied to an expected increase in the expenditure of federal funds. Also, it is estimated that more support services will be put into FWP's rate. FWP collects the money from the federal government but an
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 10 of 13
appropriation has to be charged to get the money into the general fund. The additional $27,000 being requested is a transfer of sorts.
PL No. 8 is a proprietary fund increase. The main inventory item is uniforms and game damage materials. The division buys these items through the state purchasing process and charges the costs out to the divi~ions who receive the inventory. Over time this inventory has increased. In an effort to lower the inventory and reduce cash expenditures this adjustment puts the funding back to the "middle of the road" between what was budgeted and what was spent in FY 94. They were budgeted $188,000 and expenditures totaled $81,000 in FY 94.
The vehicle replacement differential adjustment was detailed in a handout. EXHIBIT 9 The federal government refuses to allow for inflation when setting rates. FWP has to transfer dollars from the license account to the proprietary account to make up for this.
Tape No. 5:A:000 The increase is driven by the number of vehicles FWP wishes to replace. The base was about $175,000.
The original LCA request was $60,000 and this has been reduced to $30,000 at the direction of the committee. These dollars are used to provide support services to the federal programs on the LCA list. If necessary FWP could use their budget amendment authority to get additional authority.
The bulk of the equipment request is for vehicles. EXHIBIT 10 Eighty-two vehicles have about 100,000 miles on them. When the vehicles are replaced they will be publicly auctioned. The last sale returned 59% of the original value to FWP.
Since the beginning of FWP's involvement in the computer business they have been replacing 12-13% of their computers each year. The department has about 380 computers in all. The request is to start phasing out their "XT's."
Mr. Mott then spoke to the New Proposals. New Proposal No. 1 is for about three computers each per year in the regional offices.
Regarding New Proposal No.2, the federal Fish and wildlife Service manages the nation's migratory game birds. It is being required that all states do a uniform survey of all migratory bird hunters and all licensed bird hunters. SB 70, which has passed the Senate, minimizes the number of persons FWP will be surveying by dramatically narrowing the definition of waterfowl license. This saves about $55,000 from this request. The survey would be implemented in the second year of the coming biennium and all waterfowl hunters will be surveyed. License agents will fill out the paperwork for the survey when licenses are purchased and send it to the Fish and wildlife Service. The costs in the New Proposal are based on the agents' feeling that fifty cents
950131JN.HM1
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 11 of 13
per survey would be adequate compensation for performing the work. In addition, there will be postage costs.
New Proposal No. 3 is also a case of double budgeting. If the committee accepts the proposal it should have the LFA and FWP compute the dollar amount, using the travel figures approved in the other divisions.
The funding for New Proposal No. 4 is split 50/50 between the license account and proprietary funds. Mr. Mott asked for flexibility in choosing which account to use.
Questions: In response to SEN. JENKINS, Mr. Mott went into further detail about the funding for the mainframe/personal computer system (PL No.4). The Legislature gave him spending authority to develop the system but maintenance costs hadn't been included and this is where money from other sources had to be redirected, to make up the difference.
SEN. JENKINS felt the small businesses which had sold licenses for many years needed a higher commission and more recognition. Mr. Mott said these people were very much appreciated. Regarding compensation, they sell licenses for the department pretty cheaply compared to other states. In 1991 the commission was increased from $.35 to $.50. He said he would pass on SEN. JENKINS' comments and consider possibilities for giving recognition for service.
In response to CHAIRMAN DEBRUYCKER, Mr. Graham said migratory bird numbers have declined over the past decade. There was a fair amount of concern regarding the effects of the harvest on populations and the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service felt they needed to have a complete harvest assessment. Joint meetings of the International Association of Fish and Wildlife agencies and the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service resulted in a decision that the states should try to do the surveys. Information will help determine whether or not waterfowl hunting for some species can be sustained in the future.
CHAIRMAN DEBRUYCKER pointed out the past decade had been some of the driest years on record in eastern Montana. When there isn't water the waterfowl doesn't show up. He questioned the need for a survey when there isn't anything to hunt. Mr. Graham said the net effect of surveys from all the states can help fill in the bigger picture of migratory bird activities. CHAIRMAN DEBRUYCKER wanted to know if the survey approach was being used outside the borders of the U.S. Mr. Graham said Mexico does not have a survey and Canada is working cooperatively with them. Montana has two different migratory corridors: the Pacific Flyway and the Central Flyway. Tape No. 5:B:OOO
SEN. JENKINS stated that he had been told harvests had less effect on population levels than habitat did. Mr. Graham agreed
950131JN.HMI
HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE January 31, 1995
Page 12 of 13
but the harvest is the only one they can control and even if hunting was stopped the population couldn't come back up like it was ten years ago. SEN. JENKINS pointed out that predators were also a significant problem.

DISEASE SUSPECTED IN UPPER MADISON RIVER RAINBOW TROUT DECLINE
Montana Fish, wildlife & Parks officials said today that a
dramatic decline in the number of wild rainbow trout in the upper
Madison River may be due to a non-native disease that affects the
fishes' nervous systems.
Dick Vincent, FWP regional fish manager, said the u.s. Fish
and wildlife Service's Fish Technology Center in Bozeman
confirmed Tuesday that whirling disease was present in young
rainbow trout that were collected near the West Fork of the
Madison River.
The rainbow trout population in the 50-mile stretch of the
Madison River above Ennis Lake has declined more than 90 percent
since 1991, from about 3,300 fish per mile to about 300 per mile,
Vincent said. The river's popular brown trout do not appear to
have been affected, he said.
"We began suspecting disease could be responsible for the
wild-rainbow trout decline when we ruled out most environmental
factors, such as water flow fluctuations, pollution, habitat
destruction, and the affects of angling," Vincent said.
FWP researchers gathered adult fish for the initial disease
sampling from the Norris area in November and found no evidence
of disease. An additional 28 juvenile fish were gathered from the
west Fork area earlier this month. Of eight fish examined so far,
.,':
" : ..
News Release Page -2-December 21, 1994
five have been confirmed to have whirling disease, Vincent said.
WhirlinQ disease occurs in much of Europe, where it probably
originated. It was accidentally introduced into the United states
in 1956, and has subsequently been detected in at least 18
states, including California, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah. In these
states, whirling disease incidents in the wild have been
associated with hatchery-bred fish and stream-stocking programs.
"Because this disease has never been detected in Montana,
and because we: (1) don't stock the Madison River with hatchery
bred fish, and (2) don't have a whirling-disease problen within
our hatchery system, we suspect the likely source is an illegal
fish introduction," Vincent said. He said the illegal
introduction could have occurred in the late 1980s and may have
taken place on the upper Madison River near the West Fork.
Whirling disease is a parasitic infection of trout and
salmon. The parasite attacks the cartilage of young trout.
Rainbow trout appear to be most susceptible to contracting the
disease. While the parasite may not directly kill the fish, it
does make them more vulnerable to disease and other environmental
stress. The disease is named for the erratic, tail-chasing,
"whirling" in young fish, which makes these infected fish
susceptible to predation. The whirling also causes the fish to be
unable to feed normally, which can result in starvation and
death.
"We're taking this disease discovery very seriously,"
Vincent said "We're going to expand our sampling to determine the
downstream movement of the disease. At this time, all we know for
sure is that the rainbow population has declined and that
whirling disease is present. We have to conduct further stUdies
to establish a connection."
Vincent said FWP will hold public meetings beginning In
January to discuss whirling disease and the status of the Madison
River rainbow trout fishery.

WHIRLING DISEASE IN THE UPPER MADISON RIVER
Montana Fish, wildlife & Parks suspects that a dramatic decline
in the wild .rainbow trout population in the upper Madison River
may be the result of a non-native disease known as "whirling
disease."
Whirling disease is a parasitic infection of trout and salmon.
The parasite attacks the cartilage of young trout. Rainbow trout
appear to be most susceptible to contracting the disease. While
the parasite may not directly kill the fish, it does make them
more vulnerable to other diseases and environmental stress, and
thus, increased mortalities. The disease is named for the
erratic, tail-chasing, "whirling" in young fish, which makes
these infected fish susceptible to predation. The whirling also
causes the fish to be unable to feed normally, which can result
in starvation and death. In addition, the disease causes skin
and skeletal deformities, but these deformities are often
difficult to discern.
FWP researchers gathered adult fish for the initial disease
sampling from the Norris area in November and found no evidence
of disease. An additional 28 juvenile fish were gathered from the
West Fork area earlier this month. Of eight fish examined as of
Dec. 20, 1994, five have been confirmed to have whirling disease.
The U.S. Fish and wildlife Service's Fish Technology Center in
Bozeman, nationally known experts in the minute structure of fish
and fish disease, confirmed on Dec. 20, 1994 that whirling
disease was present in some young rainbow trout that were
collected near the West Fork of the Madison River.
WHERE
WHY
HOW
News Release Page -4-December 21, 1994
The disease appears to be presently confined to a 50-mile
stretch of the Madison River above Ennis Lake to below Quake
Lake.
The wild rainbow trout population in this stretch of the upper ~
Madison River has declined more than 90 percent since 1991, fror
about 3,300 fish per mile to about 300 per mile. No other fish
populations in the Madison River, including the river's popular
brown trout, appear to have been affected
Disease was suspected as the cause for the wild-rainbow trout
decline when most environmental factors, such as water flow
fluctuations, pollution, habitat destruction, and the affects 0
angling, were ruled out.
Because: 1) whirling disease has never been detected in Montan~f
2) Montana does not stock the Madison River with hatchery-bred
fish, and 3) Montana has never experienced a whirling-disease
problem within FWP's hatchery system, the suspected source is an
illegal fish introduction.
The illegal introduction could have occurred in the late 1980s
and may have taken place on the upper Madison River near the Wes
Fork.
However, it is possible that the parasite was transmitted to
Madison River rainbow trout via predacious birds ,. mud on boats ""
and trailers, or water from boats, bait buckets and other
sources.
PLANNED
ACTIONS FWP will immediately begin to evaluate other sections of the
Madison River to determine the downstream movement of the
disease, and the extent of the infection in all age classes of~
fish. In addition, FWP is aggressively researching the disease
and how to contain its spread and control infections. FWP wil~
News Release Page -5-December 21, 1994
EXHIBIT ____ 5 __ _ DAT_E _...:.../_-~3.:...1 --:9~6:::...
l '"
also begin immediately to evaluate susceptibility of other
species, such as grayling and cutthroat trout.
FWP is in the process of evaluating potential sources of the
disease in an attempt to determine how it arrived in the Madison
and prevent its spread to other basins.
FWP's primary objective will be to control the disease in the
Madison and prevent its spread to other basins in the state. But
.there is no cure for the disease and no way to remove it from the
river.
FWP will hold public meetings beginning in January to discuss
whirling disease and the status of the Madison River rainbow
trout fishery.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WHIRLING DISEASE IN THE UPPER MADISON RIVER
Q: How is the disease detected?
A: sections of cartilage are examined for abnormalities. The U.S. Fish
and wildlife Service Technical Center in Bozeman verified the disease
in the trout taken from the Madison.
Q: How is the disease transmitted?
A: Trout contract whirling disease in two ways: (1) by contact with
water-borne parasites that have been released from infected aquatic
worms; and (2) by ingesting aquatic worms that harbor the parasite.
The whirling disease protozoan has a two-host life cycle involving a
fish and the aquatic worm, tubifex.
Parasites are released into the aquatic environment when infected fish
die and decompose or are consumed by predators or scavengers. The
parasites are then ingested by worms and the life cycle is continued
until they are released in the aquatic environment after several
months of development.
Q: What are implications to the fishery?
A: In the Madison, assuming whirling disease is the cause of the
infection, we've noticed a 90 percent reduction in the population of •.
rainbow trout. Most other species of trout and salmon are
susceptible, but brown trout appear to be resistant.
Significant reductions in trout populations, in some circumstances,
can be expected.
Q: Is there a cure?
A: At this time, there is no. known cure for whirling disease in the wild.
Prevention is the best protection.

Q: Are other species in the environment affected?
tXHtBtT_ 5 -_ ........... z:ca::===--"""""'-
DATE /-31-96 l"tp. w.z' 1L-______ _
~A • _"
A: It does not appear that scavengers or other animals that come into
contact with the parasites suffer any ill effects.
Q: Should anglers or other river users be concerned
health risks?
what are the human
A: There have been no known cases of humans suffering any ill effects
from ingestion of infected fish or contact with the parasite.
Q: Where did the disease come from?
A: Because this disease is not indigenous to Montana, and in fact has
never been detected in the state, we suspect the likely source is an
illegal fish introduction. There is the potential that the disease
could have been transmitted in other ways; i.e., in water contained in
a fishing boat that moved from a contaminated source in another state
to Montana or feces of a scavenger.
Q: Where else has the disease been found?
A: Whirling disease occurs in much of Europe where it probably
originated. It was accidently introduced into New Zealand and the
United states where it has been detected in at least 18 states,
including California, Colorado, Idaho and Utah.
Q: How is the disease recognizable by an angler?
A: In all probability, anglers would not notice the disease in fish that
they would catch. The disease primarily affects young trout three to
four inches in length. Older trout could exhibit some deformity in
the skeletal structure and/or the head area.
Q: Who is responsible for fish health in Montana?
A: Montana Fish, wildlife & Parks is responsible for the regulation of
all fisheries in Montana. That includes wild trout and hatchery fish.
In that capacity, FWP monitors diseases, licenses hatcheries,
authorizes importation and movement of fish.
Q: Is it legal to move fish from one body of water to another in Montana?
A: No.
Q: Who can we contact for more information?
A: With Montana Fish, wildlife & Parks, Jim Peterson, Fish Health
Biologist in Great Falls, 452-6181. Dick Vincent, Regional Fisheries

/1>2gc:-Vincent said the state has yet to
determine to what extent rainbow trout are being affected in the river from Quake Lake to the West Fork.
Whirling disease occurs in much of Europe, where it probably originated. It was accidently introduced into the United States in 1956 and has since been found in at least 18 states. In those states, whirling disease incidents in the wild have been associated with hatchery-bred fish and stream-stocking programs.
Since this is the first case of the disease in the state and because the Madison isn't stocked with hatchery-bred fish, the agency believes the likely source of the disease is somebody illegally planting a fish from elsewhere, Vincent said.
The department received reports in the late 19805 of hatchery-raised fish being caught in the West Fork area, he said. Hatchery-raised fish are easy to recognize. They tend to be missing fins and bear ugly scars from the abuse they withstand while in the hatchery, Vincent said.
So far, not many fishermen have complained about lower numbers of fish being caught in the river, he said. That may be because 80 to 85 percent of the fishermen on the
ENNIS - A dramatic decline in the number of wild rainbow trout in the upper Madison River may be due to a rare, non-native disease that affects the nervous system of fish, state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials announced Wednesday.
The first case of whirling disease in Montana was confirmed Monday by the u.s. Fish and' Wildlife Service's Fish Technology Center in Bozeman, said Dick Vincent, the agency's regional fish manager.
Whirling disease was found in eight jUvenile fish that were gathered from the Madison River near where the West Fork of the Madison joins the main river, he said.
The rainbow trout population in the 50-mile stretch of the Madison River above Ennis Lake has declined more than 90 percent since 1991, from about 3,300 fish per mile to about 300 per mile, Vincent said. No other fish populations, including the river's popular brown trout, appear to have been affected, he said.
Whirling disease is a parasitic infection of trout and salmon. The parasite attacks the cartilage of young trout. Rainbow trout appear to be more susceptible to contracting the disease.
_ r.,. ___ f'q'
Madison are non-residents who only fish the river two to three days at a time, he said.
And the brown trout fishery has been unaffected, Vincent said.
"There are some very nice brown trout in the Madison River," he said. "They don't appear to be in jeopardy a tall."
Fishing on the Madison River is important to the area's economy. Vincent said it is estimated the 96-mile-long river pumps about $31 million into the state's economy. A little more than half of the river

may be affected by the disease, he 11 said. .
The Madison River is perhaps the most heavily fished river in the._, state. In 1992 there were an estimat-ed 140,000 angler fishing days on the Madison. By comparison, the Big Hole River had somewhere between Morning! It's 60,000 and 70,000 angler days.
Rainbow trout make up about 80 percent of the river's fishery on the upper river just below Quake Lake .. Closer to Ennis, brown trout begin f . ~rO~i~ea~~~r~~~ Joa~~:nro~~~ I I r m 'e c fishery near Enrus Lake.
The state will begin holding public hearings in January to discuss whirling disease and the status of the Madison River rainbow fishery.
VUlllllt;r :sclys .fishing good in summer 194 By Perry Backus Standard Staff Writer
ENNIS - Fishing on the upper Madison River was pretty good last summer, by Jim Allison's standards.
Allison, an Ennis outfitter, spent more than 100 days on the river during the summer. He said Wednesday that his clients caught their share of rainbow trout.
With Wednesday's news that the river's rainbow population might be in trouble, he plans to stay guardedly optimistic.
The parasite may not directly kill the fish, but makes the trout more susceptible to disease and other environmental stress. The disease is named for the erratic, tail-chasing, "whirling" it causes in young fish, which makes them more susceptible to being attacked by predators.
The whirling also causes the fish to be unable to feed normally,
Allison knows the importance of the river's fishery to Madison Valley residents.
"It feeds the valley. It feeds the town _" the river is the blood of this place," Allison said. "Without fishing, it would be real tough around here,"
The river has had to absorb more and more fishermen over the last 10 years, Allison said. He estimates there are 80 to 100 percent more fishermen on the river than a decade ago.
Ennis Mayor Richard Barr, who also owns a local motel;"" said people don't seem too ,

which can result in starvation or death.
As the fish mature and the cartilage turns to bone, the parasite's effect is lessened. But the fish continues to carry the parasite, and spores are released into the water after the fish dies and rots.
Biologists do not know of a way to control the disease, Vincent said.
