fish stocking
Releasing hatchery catches
Fish stocking is the practice of releasing fish into a body of water to establish or supplement a population.
Wildlife agencies stock lakes and streams with game fish like trout or bass to improve recreational fishing: The lake was stocked with rainbow trout last spring.
Stocking may also restore depleted native species or control aquatic pests.
