Striped Bass Run Smashed All Records An exceptionally high run of striped bass during July has smashed all records for daily, monthly and annual recovery of fish at the Bureau of Reclamation's Tracy Fish Collecting Facility. More than 17 million fish were recovered near the Tracy Pumping Plant during the month, Twohundred and twenty-seven loads of fish were hauled and dumped further down the Delta, For one ‘week during the early part of the month, recoveries were av eraging more than a million a day. On the peak days, recoveries totaled more than a million and a quarter. More than 95 percent of the fish bass. In addition, 418 thousand catfish, 100 thousand sha d, 84 thousand smelt, 11 thousand spiny ray and 888 salmon were recovered at Tracy. Until last month, the largest number of fish ever recovered at the Tracy facility during any one year was 19 million, only two million more than the collections during July along this year. The Tracy Fish Collecting Facility was designed and built by the Bureau of Reclamation to save young ocean going :fish confused by the flow of water into the giant pumps at Tracy. The pumps lift water from the Delta into the Delta-Mendota Canal. A system of louvers, resembling a large venetian blind, angles across the canal leading into the “pumps. Fish following the flow toward the pumps shy away from the louvers and are diverted into fish tanks. They are then loaded into tank trucks and hauled downstream where they are dumped into the Delta away from the influence of the Tracy pumps.
