The codfish hatchery at Wood's Hole, Massachusetts, has been highly successful.
It would probably be practicable to farm these animals [freshwater crayfish] artificially in ponds supplied with running water, such as are used at trout-hatcheries. […] [I]n this town there is already a Government trout-hatchery which has been very successful.
Meanwhile, in 1909, the trout in a certain Pennsylvania fish hatchery began to suffer from enlarged necks; a condition which so sharply affected the hatchery output that it was thought the industry would have to be abandoned.
It [Arlington Mill] is now a folk museum and contains a collection of furniture from the Cotswolds Arts and Crafts movement. Some of the mill's machinery can be seen in operation. Next door is a trout hatchery, open to the public every day during the summer.
The poultry industry is characterized by a vertical integration in which an agribusiness firm, either through direct ownership or contract, controls the entire production process. Such firms own processing plants, feed mills, and hatcheries, and contract with farmers to raise the chickens.

pos: noun
examples: Aptamers are oligomers of RNA or DNA that spontaneously fold into specific three-dimensional shapes that can bind defined targets. The specificity of the shape of the binding site arises from the base sequence of the aptamer, which determines the base-pairing pattern of the oligomer.
2009, Corinne Ravelet, Eric Peyrin, Chapter 10: Aptamers in Affinity Separations: Stationary Separation, Yingfu Li, Yi Lu (editors), Functional Nucleic Acids for Analytical Applications, page 271,
The use of DNA or RNA aptamers as tools in analytical chemistry is a very promising field of research because of their capabilities to bind specifically the target molecules with an affinity similar to that of antibodies.
The field of aptamer research is also more targeted, with many more catalytic aptamers being examined rather than for binding alone.
2015, Caroli J et al, "APTANI: a computational tool to select aptamers through sequence-structure motif analysis of HT-SELEX data", Bioinformatics, 32 (2): 161-164, "3 Results".
To test APTANI performances and validate its findings, we analyzed a sequence library corresponding to an HT-SELEX experiment designed to isolate aptamers specific for murine IL4Ra (Roth et al., 2012).
