Many nuisance fish species introductions are facilitated by human activity and often spread intra-continentally through watersheds once established. Resource managers therefore utilize multiple control technologies, including pesticides, for fisheries management to remove nuisance and non-indigenous fishes. Very few pesticides are available for fish restoration and management; however, current efforts are underway to re-instate a liquid Antimycin-A (ANT-A) formulation for effective fish removals. This presentation will communicate the status of the pesticide reinstatement process and describe the recent use of the historical pesticide formulation during a native fish restoration project in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon.
