In fish farming, broodstock signifies a group of sexually mature female and male fish, kept separate for breeding purposes. The advantage of maintaining a broodstock is that eggs and fry can be produced in a controlled environment, with no reliance on wild populations.



Good broodstock management and nutrition is essential to ensure sustainable production of viable offspring.

This section provides technical factsheets on the following aspects of broodstock management:

  • Spawning induction
  • Puberty
  • Sexual differentiation & sex control

Within these factsheets you will find general information on the subject area, current knowledge, application of research to the fish farming industry, the key species studied and hopes for future developments and research.

Further information sources and useful contacts are also indicated, for a more in-depth understanding of the topic.
