Fish Hatcheries in Central New York

The Oneida Fish Culture Station specializes in raising walleye, but it does occasionally raise some rare fish like lake sturgeon, paddlefish and whitefish.

This facility is one of the Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) largest hatcheries boasting an annual production of nearly 160,000 pounds of brook, rainbow and brown trout.

With an annual production of 15,000 pounds of fish, this hatchery rears the entire statewide supply of tiger muskellunge and produces pond-reared walleye fingerlings.

VanHornesville Hatchery raises only rainbow trout, with production totaling about 30,000 pounds.
