Alchesay National Fish Hatchery

The Alchesay National Fish Hatchery is a fish hatchery administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service located on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Navajo County, Arizona, in the United States, 9 miles (14 km) north of Whiteriver. Like other components of the National Fish Hatchery System, the hatchery's mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats, as well to cooperate with like-minded partners to further these goals. Its specific purpose is to serve as a "grow-out rearing unit" for brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) which are stocked in Native American tribal waters in eastern Arizona and western New Mexico. The hatchery is named for Alchesay (1853–1928), a chief of the White Mountain Apache tribe and United States Army Indian Scout who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Indian Wars.
