The Quinault National Fish Hatchery, located in Humptulips, WA, is a vital component of the National Fish Hatchery System, working in collaboration with the Quinault Indian Nation to restore and enhance salmon and steelhead fish populations in the region. Annually releasing approximately three million young chum salmon, coho salmon, and winter steelhead, the hatchery plays a crucial role in improving recreational fishing and preserving aquatic species for future generations.
With a primary mission to fulfill United States treaty obligations, the Quinault National Fish Hatchery is dedicated to conserving, restoring, and enhancing fish and aquatic resources in America. Through the dedicated efforts of hatchery staff, evaluation teams, and fish health veterinarians, the facility engages in the comprehensive process of spawning adults, incubating eggs, rearing fry, and releasing millions of fish each year to support local sport and commercial fisheries.
