About this award
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 awarded the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission $4 million on January 1, 2026, under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) to operate fish hatcheries and net pen facilities that culture and stock sport fish species to meet fisheries management objectives across Arkansas.
The award funds the Commission's hatchery operations through December 31, 2026.

The Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, a state government entity headquartered in Little Rock, operates as a federal grant recipient specializing in fish and wildlife conservation and public recreation services. The Commission's fisheries work centers on maintaining 132 wildlife management areas and operating sport fish hatcheries and net pen facilities. It issues sub-awards to academic partners including the University of Arkansas, Missouri State University, Colorado State University, Arkansas Tech University, and the University of Tennessee for specialized research support.
