A fish hatchery is a place for artificial breeding, hatching, and rearing through the early life stages of animals—finfish and shellfish in particular. [1] Hatcheries produce larval and juvenile fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, primarily to support the aquaculture industry where they are transferred to on-growing systems, such as fish farms ...
Fish are raised from these broodstocks with the intent of reintroducing them into their native habitat. Close monitoring at the hatchery include developing propagation and culture techniques, conducting water quality data, diet and nutrition testing, life history studies, reproductive physiology and genetic management.
Broodstock, or broodfish, are a group of mature individuals used in aquaculture for breeding purposes. Broodstock can be a population of animals maintained in captivity as a source of replacement for, or enhancement of, seed and fry numbers. [1] These are generally kept in ponds or tanks in which environmental conditions such as photoperiod ...

The facility focuses on captive propagation, genetic conservation, scientific research and public education and awareness. Fish Species
Aquaculture of tilapia. Tilapia has become the third most important fish in aquaculture after carp and salmon; worldwide production exceeded 1.5 million metric tons (1.5 × 106 long tons) in 2002 [2] and increases annually. Because of their high protein content, large size, rapid growth (6 to 7 months to grow to harvest size), [3] and ...
Fisheries science is the academic discipline of managing and understanding fisheries. [1] It is a multidisciplinary science, which draws on the disciplines of limnology, oceanography, freshwater biology, marine biology, meteorology, conservation, ecology, population dynamics, economics, statistics, decision analysis, management, and many others in an attempt to provide an integrated picture of ...
