ROCHESTER (AP) -- State environmental officials will hold three public meetings to discuss fish populations in Lake Ontario.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation says its annual "State of Lake Ontario" meetings will be held in Niagara, Monroe and Oswego counties in the coming weeks.

Biologists will give status updates on the trout and salmon fisheries as well as information on stocking and fisheries management programs. Members of the public will be able to ask questions.

The meetings will be held on Feb. 22 at the Oswego County BOCES in Mexico, Feb. 28 at the Rochester Institute of Technology and March 1 at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building in Lockport.
