After you’ve seeded your spools and moved them to their culture tanks, now begins the weeks-long process of keeping the seed happy and alive! There are various routine tasks to help ensure that your hatchery is running smoothly and you are growing the best seed possible. It’s critical to put eyes on your spools every day. 

Depending on the size of your operation, you may have to hire or recruit other people to help you with this process. If you’re bringing staff into your hatchery, make sure they’re well trained on biosecurity protocols and clearly understand the tasks required of them. You can make a nursery chores checklist to keep everyone on the same page.
