New Aquarium of the Pacific exhibit to honor steelhead

The new $850,000 display will depict the steelhead's journey from mountain streams to the Pacific and is meant to spawn support for restoring the fish's habitat.

The last steelhead in the Los Angeles River was a 25-incher caught off a bridge in Glendale in 1940, two years after that stretch was paved. Today, the region's steelhead population hovers around 500 — 10% of what it was seven decades ago.
