If your question is what happens to the smolts that are left over after the states alloted amount are released, than I can give you an answer.

I asked this question at the Bogie rearing ponds this fall and the reply I got was....

We dig a big hole, put the excess smolts in and cover it up. This is what the state orders. If we try to release more than we are suposed to than we get fired.

Does this answer your question?
