The total distribution aims to exceed eleven million fish, all between one and two inches.

Pennsylvania Hatcheries Lead in Small Mouthed Bass Propagation
Commissioner Meehan reports Pennsylvania fish culturists have mastered hatching and rearing small mouth bass fry to 80 days with minimal loss. Large ponds at Crawford and Spruce Creek are expanding outputs while last year’s total hatchery production reached over 1.14 billion fish.
