It's Fish Culture! We believe there is more to the hatchery than hatching and raising fish! In addition to the six species of fish we work with we have a part in studying the alligator snapping turtle and the Louisiana pearlshell mussel. Fish and aquatic life has been a part of the human culture and history at the site of the Natchitoches National Fish Hatchery for a very long time. Today it continues through programs like Recovery and Restoration work with endangered and threatened species, and raising Recreational species for sportsfishing on the nation's waters.
Welcome
