A hatchery is a man-made farm for fish, used to cultivate and breed a large number of fish in a enclosed environment regulary as oppose to going out and finding the fish naturally. It is usual manual labour; a hatchery worker will take a female salmon, release her eggs, and then externally add the male salmons sperm, mix them and allow them to fertilize,and incubate undisturbed, where there is no risk of disease, or being eaten, they can immediately dispose of any un fertilized eggs, and in a matter of weeks, and out of season, making salmon available for sale, in greater numbers, available any time.
