A Mountain Homecoming For a New Class Of Brookies

Date May 17, 2024
Published in In the Field

In early May, the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute traveled more than 200 miles — deep into the mountains on the border between Tennessee and North Carolina — to release more than 80 baby Southern Appalachian Brook Trout into a beautiful stream!

This waterway is a tributary of the Nolichucky River, which flows farther north than previous release sites. Targeting a new location is a significant milestone in the effort to reclaim the historic range of Tennessee’s only native trout species!
