In commercial production of trout and other salmonids in the United States, eggs are typically produced on broodfish farms that are separate from farms used for the production of fish for food or for stocking. The production of good quality, disease-free eggs is a specialized activity requiring a high degree of skill and management. Most of the eggs used in commercial trout production in the southeastern U.S. are produced in the Pacific Northwest. Trout eggs are usually shipped when they reach the 'eyed' stage (Fig. 1), which is more than halfway through the incubation period.
