The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that nationally, every dollar spent on hatchery programs for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) returns over $36 of net economic value. One survey estimated the rainbow trout recreational fishery to be worth up to $12-14 million annually in Lake Erie, compared to a stocking cost of $600,000.
