Cold Water Alert from the DNR

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) is investigating Whirling Disease (WHD) and Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) in hatchery-raised trout at the Buford and Summerville Trout Hatcheries.

Initial testing results indicate that both hatcheries are positive for WHD and IHNV.
