Outcome: Initial Outcome
Dr. Semmens and John Kelso introduced a local paddlefish producer to simple, low-tech options for inducing spawning in mature paddlefish. Aquilla Inc. was presented with a crash course in the collection of paddlefish pituitary glands to prepare injections for induced spawning. Macerated pituitary tissue can be suspended in physiological saline and injected intermuscular to stimulate ovulation. Eggs can then be removed from the body cavity, fertilized, and hatched to provide stocking fry into reservoirs or ponds.
