In general, brood bank is a place (hatchery or farm) where brood fishes are available. Under the project “Establishment of the brood bank” by government of Bangladesh, two brood banks were established in each division of the country where quality broods can be found. In these brood banks, brood fishes are produced from natural spawns and distributed to other government and non-government hatcheries at minimum costs.

List of brood banks, established under the establishment of the brood bank project by the Bangladesh government are as follows-
