hatcheries
Where fry begin
Hatcheries are facilities where eggs are incubated and hatched under controlled conditions.
Fish hatcheries raise salmon, trout, or other species for stocking rivers and lakes.
Poultry hatcheries produce chicks for farms.
The word often appears in conservation contexts: The hatchery releases thousands of fingerlings each spring.
