COWICHAN FISH HATCHERYStarted in 1977, the Cowichan Fish Hatchery is a Salmonid
Enhancement facility operated by Cowichan Tribes under contract to
Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The primary goal of the Hatchery is to
raise the wild salmon stock in the Cowichan River system to
historical levels through a combination of brood stock and salvage
strategies. The facility has a capacity for 3.5 million
eggs, but is limited by water availability (the facility uses
ground water only) and returning stocks (maximum 30%).
Salmon Fry Release (to 2003)
* Brood stock of coho was discontinued in 2001.
Research found that wild coho are much stronger and therefore have
a much better survival rate.
