Brown and Brook Trout eggs spawned this fall are now hatching! Young trout with yolks attached are called alevins. Alevins live off the yolk for 2–3 weeks and then transition to the feeding stage. After growing for 1.5–2.5 years, these trout will be ready for stocking! | Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife

It’s trout spawning time! Each November, our hatchery staff start to cultivate the next generation of trout that will eventually get stocked into lakes and ponds throughout the state. Staff start by gently squeezing a female trout to release her eggs. Fish are spawned at three years old and weigh 2–5 lbs. Each female can produce 1,000–3,500 eggs per pound of body weight! After eggs are taken from the female, milt from the male fish is squeezed into the same bowl as the eggs. The fish are handled

We stock ~10,000 landlocked salmon from our Palmer Hatchery into the Quabbin Reservoir annually. Last year, we began clipping the adipose fins of hatchery-raised salmon before they’re stocked. Eventually, this will allow managers and anglers to visually distinguish hatchery-raised salmon from salmon spawned in the Quabbin. This work is part of a broader effort to better understand landlocked salmon populations in Quabbin. | Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife
