Fish hatchery
A fish hatchery is where fish are hatched and cared for, usually to be released in natural waters (rivers , lakes , etc.). They may also be transferred to Fish farms and raised for food. Fish hatcheries and farms (also called aquaculture ) are either commercial or run by a state , province , or country . Some species that are commonly raised in hatcheries include Pacific oysters , shrimp , prawns , salmon , tilapia and scallops . In the United States in particular, many species of game fish are raised in hatcheries. These include black bass , trout , walleye , Northern pike , and Muskellunge .[1]
The value of global aquaculture production is estimated to be US$98.4 billion in 2008 with China significantly dominating the market. However, the value of aquaculture hatchery and nursery production has yet to be estimated.[2]
