Henry's Lake Fall brookie's?
#31
I sent the link and page number to the fisheries biologist I know their reply was . . .

Quote:The method only works for diploid (normal) trout. Triploids are sterile and don't produce eggs that might be fertilized by XX sperm from hormone treated pseudo males.

I don't know of any way to produce all female triploids other than by manual selection. As the article states, triploids are not used for aquaculture since only the females have the desirable growth characteristics. You have to spend a lot of time and money to grow the fish until they are large enough to select only females. For sport fisheries, the males are just ignored. They just don't grow larger than normal trout in most cases. The triploid females provide the trophies.
