salmon hatchery
Spawning facility upstream
A salmon hatchery is a facility where salmon eggs are artificially fertilized, incubated, and raised until the young fish are large enough to release into rivers or the ocean.
Hatcheries supplement wild populations depleted by overfishing, habitat loss, or dam construction: The hatchery releases millions of fry each spring.
