Showing the 300 most recent of 473 records; the full list is in the provincial dataset linked below. Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia’s Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture publishes its hatchery stocking records as open data, with the date, the water and its county, the species and strain, the growth stage, the length and weight of the fish and the number released. This page shows the twelve months up to the most recent record as the province publishes them, most recent first, with totals by species.
The open dataset is updated about once a year, after the season’s records are compiled, so the most recent date in the table can be months old. The province also posts a weekly stocking update during the season on its own website; that page is linked in the sources, and its contents are not copied here because its reuse terms are not the same as the open dataset’s.
Brook trout are the backbone of Nova Scotia’s stocking, with other trout in some waters; the species totals show the mix for the period. Look for the water and the county you fish, note the date and the length of the fish, and check the Nova Scotia anglers’ handbook for that water’s season and limits, including the special trout waters.
The dataset names each water in capitals, with its type and county, and gives its position in map coordinates. Many small lakes share names across counties, so the county column is the way to tell them apart. The hatchery column in the source shows where each batch was raised.
The data is published under the Open Government Licence – Nova Scotia, which allows commercial reuse with attribution. The attribution line is at the foot of the table, and the dataset is linked in the sources, with the province’s weekly update page alongside it.

Mostly brook trout, with other trout in some waters; the species totals above the table show the mix for the period.
