West Virginia's Morgan Spring feeds fresh water to the Freshwater Institute's aquaculture research projects. Agricultural Research Service scientists working at the institute are raising rainbow trout in high-technology indoor tanks and low-technology outdoor tanks. Researchers are also examining the use of fish waste as fertilizer for vegetables, fruit and ornamental crops.
