SBIR Phase I: Out-of-Season Spawning Technologies to Double Yellow Perch Fingerling Production

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目是开发一种可靠的方法来反季节产卵黄鲈，从而允许每年生产两季鱼种。将使用光热和激素方法诱导非季节产卵。预计在该项目中开发的技术将使现有养殖场的年鱼种产量翻一番。更多的鱼种供应将显著降低其成本，并转化为养殖生产者更大的利润。该项目的商业应用是在水产养殖领域。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop a reliable method to spawn yellow perch out-of-season, thereby allowing for the production of two crops of fingerlings per year. Photothermal and hormonal methodologies will be used to induce out-of-season spawning. It is anticipated that the technology developed during this project will lead to the doubling of annual fingerling production from existing farms. The greater availability of fingerlings should markedly reduce their cost, and translate into greater profits for growout producers.The commercial application of this project is in the area of aquaculture.
