Fish Stocking

Fish Stocking

Fish Stocking is the practice of raising fish in a hatchery and releasing them into a river, lake, or the ocean  to supplement existing populations, or to create a population where none exists. Stocking may be done for the benefit of commercial, recreational, or tribal fishing, but may also be done to restore or increase a population of threatened or endangered fish in a body of water closed to fishing.

MASA has been stocking fish into Lake Monduran since 1998 and regularly releases fingerling species to ensure the lake has a successful recreational fishing stock.
