Allegheny National Fish Hatchery

The Allegheny National Fish Hatchery is a fish hatchery administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on the north bank of the Allegheny River. It lies on 45 acres (18 hectares) of land in Warren County, Pennsylvania, about 200 feet (61 m) downriver from the Kinzua Dam and is a compone

nt of the National Fish Hatchery System. Like other components of the National Fish Hatchery System, the hatchery's mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats, as well to cooperate with like-minded partners to further these goals. Specifically, the hatchery produces lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) for the restoration of populations of those species in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
