The Peoria Tribe of Indians Aquatic facility specializes in the production of Northern Largemouth Bas
(3)
The Peoria Tribe is continuing to develop a Tribal Aquatic complex. This facility is currently in operation to propagate freshwater mussels and production of Largemouth and Smallmouth bass. One building, a 2,800 square foot facility, will be used in propagation of freshwater mussels and Largemouth bass and Smallmouth bass production to be used as host fish for the mussel program. The second buildi
ng, a 1,200 square foot facility, will be used to assist in the grow out of freshwater mussels such as the Neosho Mucket. The facility also has a 1.5 acre reservoir pond and seven production ponds for bass production. There are also three smaller shallower ponds that will be used to grow out minnows and other freshwater vertebrates such as crayfish for a food source for the bass production ponds.

Mussels are artists themselves! Neat share from Illinois State Museum-Dickson Mounds!
Mussels are graffiti artists! Using a muscular "foot," some mussels slowly move around their habitat, leaving interesting designs.
Look for the mussel graffiti trails in shallow water. If you follow the trail, you may find a mussel! But please, leave the mussel where you find it.

When it comes to seining our ponds, our staff and interns are ALL IN!
This is the process of removing smallmouth broodfish from our spawning ponds. This happens once the eggs have hatched and turned into fry. We do this to limit predation of our young fish by the adult fish.
Stop by our office and get your application in by THIS FRIDAY, May 15th.

Kyle Foster and Todd Weaver, Specialists with the Environmental Department, visited the Wild Heart Ranch this week. The ranch provides wildlife rescue services for a large range of animals! The Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is working closely with them by providing fish for the rescued wildlife. The fish we supply will provide the eagle with a healthy diet and ensure optimal chances for recovery and comfort!

At the Peoria Tribe Aquatic Facility, the safety of our fish is a top priority. With nearly all hands on deck, we spent the afternoon installing a net over our ponds to protect our Smallmouth Bass from flying predators!

Yesterday was a beautiful day for the Peoria Tribe of Indians Aquatic Facility to start gearing up for their spawn by sorting through our Brood-fish and pairing them.

Salt test for our mussels. This is how we tell if they are viable. When the salinity changes in the water they are fooled in to thinking there is a fish they are touching so they close trying to clamp on to the fish.

What a difference a couple of weeks make. Our Fat mucket glochidia is now ready to be put on a fish.

The Illinois River Valley was once home to extraordinary populations of mussels that support generations upon generations of people. This area is the ancestral home lands of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma who were removed from these homelands. They continue to utilize and protect mussel species at the Peoria Tribe of Indians Aquatic Facility.
do you all still offer hog trapping? here out on our property on Cayuga Rd. we're seeing herds again. got treed this morning by as feisty sow!
This is my Grandson Max. Please take a moment and read his Bio. He needs a Service Dog so we need to raise $8000 in a yr. I know we dont know each other, but we are a tribe. I Thank you all in advance 💙

Looking forward to a Great Night with three Great Men and all our Friends. "Crawford & Co is back! "Better than ever" No admission fee: — with Justin Crawford and 4 others.
I had the pleasure of visiting the facility last Thursday and was astounded by the excellent resources for raising fish and mussels. Justin and the crew take care in raising their fish with proven industry standards.
Their facilities for propagating freshwater mussels were awesome. It seemed like they were having great success; there were so many small mussels at various sizes! They use known techniques to ensure great growth in their propogated mussels. I really liked how they fed their >1inch length mussels using a pump to bring water from a large pond. The flow through system is something I hope to emulate if I ever try to grow mussels.
Their fish operation seemed excellent too. I liked their retirement pond for the very large bass they had and I got to see their breeding fish stock too (very big and ready to lay some eggs!). They also have a temp controlled transport tank so you know your fish will arrive with the least stress possible.
I hope to keep working with Justin and the crew at this great facility. Thanks for helping river wildlife in Oklahoma!

Had the pleasure of visiting the Peoria Tribe of Indians Aquatic Facility to see the smallmouth that will soon be released into Grand Lake. What an awesome operation. If you're looking for fish for your pond, they definitely have'em, smallmouth, largemouth and even tilapia! Kade even caught a dandy in one of the ponds!
Environmental and their amazing projects.
