To top it all off by just buring them... what a waste.
Surprised theres not some sort of emergency air injection in a hatchery of that scale.

Typical goverment operation. When the union goverment employee screws up, don't try to recover any losses by collecting and selling the fish for ferilizer or dog food that would creat work. Let the taxpayers just eat the cost and we can start all fresh and new without getting our hands dirty. Fish hatcherys are a very cool place to visit and take a tour and It's sad that the fish have to be so dependent on a goverment union worker.
The Unions ruined American industry and now the largest union is the goverment workers union. What do you expect they will do to our goverment run it off to China also?

Problem is an air injection system would need to be fairly sizable to properly supply the airation needed for that "holding tank", which would be fairly expensive. the wildlife hatcheries and park facilities are often the first to have their budgets cut, so often times they can't afford emergency measures. But I am curious why there wasn't a 2nd check of the valves. Standard procedure at govt. facilities is to have all "essential" processes checked twice. Seems to me that guy/girl's boss didn't do his/her job either by double checking that it was re-opened after the cleaning.

That would be typical, boss was just as much at fault for not double checking, but the underling is the one thrown under the bus.

Also typical that you could monitor the DO content for far less than $100,000 per tank, but they wouldn't front the cost they risk the $100,000 loss instead.
