Thornton Creek Hatchery

Thornton Creek Hatchery Support this salmon enhancement project in Ucluelet, on Vancouver Island. Last spring Thornton Creek released over 500, 000 Chinook and around 600, 000 Chum.

The Thornton Creek Hatchery harvests eggs from returning salmon as they are about to spawn in the creek, or other waterways the hatchery works in. Then they take the eggs back to the hatchery, fertilize and incubate, hatch and raise them, and then release them back into the wild. Coho is raised in holding tanks for a year and around 50,000 are released in April/May. They will continue to release s

almon into particular water systems until its number of returning salmon increases to a healthy level and it is able to sustain itself. Then they move on and enhance another system.
