Fish hatcheries are facilities where fish are bred, hatched, and reared under controlled conditions for various purposes, such as restocking natural populations, supporting aquaculture, and conservation. Hatcheries provide optimal conditions for breeding, allowing for the production of high-quality, disease-free juveniles. Species commonly cultivated include salmon, trout, and tilapia. Hatcheries play a critical role in bolstering fish populations, especially for endangered species or those overfished in the wild. However, careful management is necessary to prevent genetic issues and ecological imbalances when these fish are introduced into natural habitats. Fish hatcheries support aquaculture development and contribute to food security and biodiversity conservation.
