Capturing, Handling, Transporting, Injecting and Holding Brood Fish for Induced Spawning

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: November 1991

The physical injury and physiological stress of capturing, handling, transporting, injecting and holding brood fish can have a greater detrimental effect on spawning success than almost any other factor. When female fish are stressed or injured, they may undergo rapid physiological changes that can result in the break-down (resorption) of the eggs in the ovary. This document discusses ways to minimize stress due to capturing, handling, transporting, and injecting brood fish.
