Lyndon Fish Hatcheries Inc.
Lyndon Fish Hatcheries serves customers throughout Canada and beyond. We have served government agencies, universities and businesses. Some of our biggest customers include fish farms that grow out our fingerlings and eggs for end production use. Our brilliant fish are desired and admired by our customers but expected by our family and employees. The facility in New Dundee focuses on hatching eggs from our renowned Lyndon rainbow trout brood stock. Our brood stock is fed only the highest quality feed, and our partnerships with the University of Guelph make us one of the leading Canadian hatcheries in the trout industry. We hatch our fish in natural spring water derived from a variety of wells, giving us a constant supply of crystal clear water at 10 degrees. These ideal conditions allow us to grow our products for the national and international marketplace.
