Species-dependent spawning strategy

• Single batch spawners
• Spawn annually, single batch of eggs over several
  years ( trout and salmon) or some spawn once and
  die after spawning (Pacific salmon species)
• Long vitellogenesis
• To significantly affect the gonads one must feed
  broodstock feed for a long period.

• Multiple spawners
• Spawn annually and multiple batches,sea bass, sea
  bream (4-6), halibut (10), cod (15-20)
• Short vitellogenesis
• The gonads can be affected by feeding in a few
  weeks/months
