Descrição
Resumo:The first wreckfish (Polyprion americanus) juveniles have been produced in Galicia, Spain, after years of research in the reproduction and larval rearing of the species in the framework of the DIVERSIFY project (www.diversifyfish.eu). Early this year, researchers in Vigo, Illa de Arousa, Vilanova de Arousa and A Coruña have finally seen their efforts coming to fruition with the consistent acquisition of large quantities of fertilized eggs after spontaneous tank spawning of their captive reared broodstocks. Given the continuous supply of eggs, the planned research efforts for the development of larval rearing methods have been implemented and the result is a small number of hatchery-produced juvenile wreckfish happily swimming in the tanks of IGAFA and IEO....
