Salmon Hatcheries

Salmon hatcheries are facilities that support the reproduction and early life stages of salmon. They breed and incubate salmon eggs in controlled environments, helping boost salmon populations, especially when natural habitats are threatened or overfished. Once the fry or juveniles reach a certain size, they are released into rivers and oceans to grow and eventually return to spawn. Hatcheries play a vital role in conservation, commercial fishing support, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, ensuring salmon populations remain sustainable for future generations.
