Aquatic breeding facility
A fish hatchery is a facility where fish eggs are artificially fertilized, hatched, and raised.
Hatcheries produce fish for stocking lakes and rivers, restoring wild populations, or supplying commercial aquaculture.
The state hatchery releases thousands of trout into local streams each spring.
