Hatcheries are essential for the breeding and propagation of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic organisms to support sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. They help ensure a steady supply of juvenile organisms, which can enhance stock levels in natural habitats and provide resources for commercial and recreational fishing. Additionally, hatcheries play a critical role in conservation efforts by aiding in the recovery of endangered species and maintaining biodiversity.
