Any species offish introduced for management purposes prior to wilderness designation may be managed as indigenous fish species if the species is likely to survive. State agencies may continue to stock those waters traditionally stocked prior to wilderness designation. State and Federal agencies should carefully evaluate stocking those waters that consistently require supplementation for reasons other than angler- induced mortality. Selected species for stocking will be determined by the State agency in close cooperation and coordination with the Federal land management agency. In order of preference for stocking fish species is (a) Federal threatened or endangered species, and (b) indigenous species. Numbers and size of fish and time of stocking will be determined by the State in coordination with Federal agencies. Lakes and streams cmrently without fish may be considered for stocking, if there is mutual agreement that no appreciable loss of scientific values or adverse effects on wilderness resources will occur. It is generally undesirable to stock previously ut1stocked ·waters. Because these areas generally reflect natural ecosystem processes, they may possess high scientific values. Proposals for fish stocking that would involve uses generally prohibited under Section 4 (c) of the Wilderness Act will be considered and may be authorized by the Federal administering agency through application ofthe MRDP as outlined in Section E., General Policy.
