Hatcheries

Hatcheries are facilities where eggs from fish, birds, or other animals are incubated and raised until they are ready to be released or sold. In fish hatcheries, eggs are carefully collected, fertilized, and kept in controlled environments to ensure safe development. Once the young animals reach a certain stage, they are often released into natural habitats to support populations or sold to farms and buyers. Hatcheries help maintain and boost wildlife and agricultural populations, ensuring healthy, sustainable stocks while protecting ecosystems and supporting local economies.
