Conservation Fisheries
Conservation Fisheries saves rare freshwater fish via captive propagation and low-impact monitoring.  We are dedicated to the preservation of aquatic biodiversity and habitats in the southeastern United States.

     Some of America's rarest and most beautiful aquatic treasures might disappear forever without our efforts.  We propagate rare native freshwater fish in the only such hatchery in the US.  Our propagated fish can be released into wild habitats to bolster existing populations, or to restore populations that have been eliminated.  We also maintain "ark" populations of species facing possible extinction.
We are nonprofit, depending upon private donations and government contracts for our operations.  We need your help.
