Private and Commercial Hatcheries
Updated August 23, 2021
This list of New York facilities with permits to rear or sell selected fish species is compiled annually and updated periodically by DEC, and is distributed for information only. It is compiled to help people find possible sources of certified disease-free fish for stocking. Fish purchasers are reminded that DEC stocking permits are required before fish are placed into any New York State waters. Purchasers should also receive a copy of a fish health certificate indicating the fish they are buying for stocking purposes are from facilities that have been inspected and found free of the fish pathogens identified in DEC's regulations (NYCRR, Title 6, Part 188.1 and 188.2 (link leaves DEC's website)). For additional information call the nearest DEC Regional Office.
