trout hatcheries

Salmon-family breeding facilities

Trout hatcheries are facilities where trout are bred and raised, typically to stock lakes, rivers, and streams for recreational fishing or to supplement wild populations.

The fish are spawned in controlled conditions and grown to a size suitable for release: The state stocks the river from its trout hatcheries each spring.
