Introduction to Fender's Fish Hatchery
Fender's Fish Hatchery was established in 1956 by Dennis and Janet Fender. Dennis grew up as a child playing in the creek in his back yard, curious about the fish and critters who lived there. After growing up and coming back from the Army, he needed something to do, and fish came to mind. In 1956 he and his wife, Janet, started Fender's fish Hatchery.
The business has grown to include four generations of Fender's, and over 200 acres of water in 3 counties. Janet, two of her children, and several grandchildren currently help run and manage the business and fish from the farm can be found all over the east coast and Midwest.
We deliver fish to every Soil and Water Conversation district in Ohio as well as sportsman's clubs and county offices throughout Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, and more.
We invite you to stop in and talk to us, take a look around, and get to know the farm, and the family behind the small business.
Don't forget, when you stop by the hatchery to pick up your fish, you can request a copy of Pond Management: The Common Sense Guide, the complete revised second edition by Steve Fender. This book will guide you through all the information you need to know in owning a small pond or big lake when stocking and managing, from the geographical areas of Northern Ohio all the way to Southern Ohio. This is the only book currently written on the market specifically tailored to Ohio stock ponds.
Fender's Fish Hatchery is located at:
50665 Township Road 220
Baltic, Ohio, 43812

And if you have any questions, feel free to give the hatchery or Steve a call at the numbers listed in the video.

Critical Zone Observatories help U.S. plan for the future - Science Nation
From treetops to rivers to the bedrock below, there is constant activity going on in what we can think of as the “skin” of our planet. It’s called the critical zone, the active layer of the Earth where life-forms, from microbes to humans, find habitat and use resources.
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), civil and environmental engineer Praveen Kumar at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Co-director Thanos Papanicolaou of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and an interdisciplinary team of researchers from nine universities run the Intensely Managed Landscapes Critical Zone Observatory (IML-CZO). The observatory focuses on areas in the upper Midwest where human activities have dramatically transformed the land over time.
The Intensely Managed Landscapes CZO provides a unique opportunity among all the observatories for understanding how the Anthropocene, along with geological legacy, have impacted ecosystem properties in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, says Papanicolaou. Our team at the University of Tennessee examines ways of storing carbon within the soil profile for improving soil quality and productivity. Also, we determine from which areas within the watershed most of the eroded soil originates using different tracers.
The three main study sites of the IML-CZO are the Upper Sangamon River Basin in Illinois, the Clear Creek Watershed in Iowa, and the Minnesota River Basin. The goal is to continue to get productivity from these landscapes, while reducing the impact of human activities and, in some cases, even enhancing the ecosystems.
The researchers share their findings with local farmers who make the studies possible by allowing towers, sensors, fiber optics and other equipment on their property. Each critical zone has a story to tell about how climate, water, vegetation and humans interact, and each story helps us to better understand and address issues of food and water security and environmental sustainability.
IML-CZO is a joint effort by a growing team of faculty and scientists from many institutions, including the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; University of Tennessee, Knoxville; University of Iowa, Iowa City; Northwestern University, Chicago; Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana; Indiana University, Bloomington; University of Minnesota, Minneapolis; Penn State University, State College; Utah State University, Logan; the Illinois State Water Survey, the Illinois State Geological Survey, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
The IML-CZO is one of nine NSF-funded critical zone observatories that span a range of climatic, ecologic, geologic and physiographic environments, from California to Puerto Rico.
The research in this episode was supported by NSF award #1331906, IML-CZO.

August and I visited the Table Rock Fish Hatchery and were able to see how they raise young rainbow and brown trout until they let them free in area rivers. It was a really nice facility...check out August feeding these little suckers!
