I just looked up “fish hatchery living”. My dad worked for fish n wildlife for 20+ years, meaning I lived in hatchery homes my whole life. I don’t know of anyone else who’s lived ON station at hatcheries. He used to take me to see the baby fish eggs/the fry in the basins at night. Best memories of riding my bikes up & down around the fish ponds. 😄bye I’m done reminiscing
You have a passion for your job and are enjoying yourself. You are the right person for this job. Great too on how you care about the fish. Da bear here enjoys fish. Thank you for what you do.
This looks so damn cool i just started getting into fish originally starting with aquariums but as im starting to get tired of the restaurant industry and growing in passion for fish so ive been looking into what it would be like before i make a decision since i live nowhere near significant water
Kinda funny, I used to work at the company who builds the transports on that second truck used to deliver them to hatcheries all over the place and after bullshitting with managers I’m looking to work at a hatchery now 😂
Do you see a lot of hatchery workers with a bachelors in biology? I’m almost done with mine and interested in this field after graduation, but I don’t have much experience in this portion of biology
Bachelor in environmental science with a major in fisheries and aquaculture management. However you dont need this to get a hatchery job however it does help.
@@Nathanrudsell Whenever you are dealing with a live product there are challenges. For example hatchery raised fish are prone to diseases, mechanical issues such as pumps or generators breaking down etc.

been lookin into applying for a hatchery near me for sum quick cash, thx for fixing all of my concerns🤙🏾
I wouldn't say it is "quick cash" but you will get some good experience. Every hatchery is run differently but I highly recommend you give it a go.

Usually people with biology degrees work in hatcheries to build up their resume before moving on to a higher paid biologist jobs.
could you explain the schooling you went through????
I did a bachelor of environmental science with a major in fisheries and aquaculture management.
What college program did you take to become a fish hatchery worker?
Bachelor in environmental science with a major in fisheries and aquaculture management. However you dont need this to get a hatchery job however it does help.
Are you working at a US FWS? How many hours a week are you doing? 40 +?
This was when I was working for the state. US FW is federal. Yep 40 hours a week.
@@JamieNicho Oh ok, what are you up to now? Still working in fisheries/aquaculture?
basically you drive all day
Pretty much lol
I want to raise fish in the PNW so bad, the views you showed look amazing!
You should apply for some jobs up here. Lots of seasonal positions!
@@JamieNicho "seasonal" is the trick there haha
Not sure if you realise this, but your accent has changed a bunch. You sound very American now
I didn't even notice haha
I would of loved to have a job like that!
It was a great job! Raising fish definitely comes with its challenges though.
@@JamieNicho how so?

@@JamieNicho ohh okay, how old do you need to be to apply to one?
This doesn't seem like work
