Fish hatcheries are the lifeblood of our Nation’s commercial and natural fisheries. They provide a steady supply of fry (baby fish) to supplement lakes, rivers, streams, and commercial fish farms. Factors such as overfishing and invasive species have and will continue to have a detrimental impact on fisheries, which could collapse if not augmented with hatchery stock. Our team at ICS realizes the vital role hatcheries play in today’s world. They not only help put fish on the table, but also contribute to habitat conservation and enhancing recreation opportunities for anglers today, and into the future.
