Operation Of Hatcheries (freshwater) Companies in Malaysia

Hatcheries in Malaysia typically operate as freshwater companies. They supply fry, or juvenile fish, to commercial fish farms and also to the general public for stocking ponds. The fry are produced from eggs that are hatched and then raised in the hatchery until they are large enough to be sold.

Hatcheries typically have their own broodstock, or parent fish, from which they collect eggs to be incubated and hatched. The fry are then raised in tanks or ponds until they are large enough to be sold. Some hatcheries also produce fingerlings, or young fish that are large enough to be stocked in ponds but are not yet ready for harvest.
