Salmon Hatchery - Huon Aquaculture

The hatcheries within the Huon Aquaculture Group [HUON] mimic the natural lifecycle of the Salmon. In the wild, the young salmon spend the first year of their lives, in rivers and streams before moving to the sea to feed, grow and return to lay their eggs. The Salmon naturally lay their eggs [spawn] in May of each year. As in the wild HUON salmon start their life as eggs in freshwater. We collect eggs in June/July from females and these are fertilised by male brood fish. The resultant fertilised eggs are then incubated in dark cool water until they hatch, a process that lasts almost 3 months. When they hatch and become known as Alevins.
