Overview

The Orangeburg National Fish Hatchery was established in 1911. The hatchery produces a variety of warm-water freshwater fish, including: striped bass (South Carolina’s state fish), redbreast sunfish, American shad, and lake sturgeon. These fish are stocked annually in reservoirs, lakes, rivers and coastal streams across the Southeast United States. Orangeburg National Fish Hatchery also produces the critically endangered Carolina heelsplitter mussel. These endangered mussels are raised at the Orangeburg Mussel Conservation Center which is part of the hatchery.
