Fish Hatchery
Our on-campus Fish Hatchery is a unique classroom-setting for hands-on education.
Faculty mentored student research activities give students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom. Here Humboldt students get exposed to current aquaculture technologies and learn about the operation of recirculating aquaculture systems.
Get your feet wet at the Humboldt Fish Hatchery!
