North Country Angling: Fish and Game exits fish hatcheries

In an announcement that rocked the fisheries world, New Hampshire Fish and Game has announced that it will cease operation of their five fish hatcheries effective immediately. All hatcheries have been acquired by Acme Aquaculture. Price was unavailable at press time.

Fish and Game Executive Director Scot Masonite said in a press release, “Fish hatcheries have been a drain of Fish and Game resources for decades. While this has been a difficult decision, we feel that the time to cut the umbilical cord of frankenfish being placed is state waters is now.”
