The control of reproduction is a determining factor in the efficient management of domestication and genetic improvement programmes.The section presents the major reproduction-related problems facing the fin-fish farming industry, providing current knowledge and protocols for their resolution.
The following reproductive issues are covered here:

  • Spawning induction to synchronise production
  • Puberty control to maintain product quality and growth performance
  • Sex control for a favourable growth rate and size
  • Sterilisation to prevent puberty and minimise contamination of wild stocks
  • Cryopreservation for the conservation of genetic resources
