Area of Science:

  • Aquatic Ecology
  • Conservation Biology
  • Fisheries Science

Background:

  • Fish populations face threats from habitat degradation, overfishing, pollution, and climate change.
  • Captive breeding is crucial for species recovery, genetic diversity, and sustainable aquaculture.
  • Accurate fish maturity determination is essential for effective broodstock management and breeding success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current methodologies for fish maturity determination in captive breeding.
  • To highlight the application of established knowledge for improved broodstock management and conservation.
  • To identify needs for standardized, species-specific protocols and non-invasive methods.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of traditional methods (morphological, gonadal assessments).
  • Evaluation of advanced techniques (histological, molecular, non-invasive imaging like ultrasound).
  • Inclusion of behavioral cues and emerging technologies (camera-based, hormone detection kits).

Main Results:

  • Traditional methods are foundational; histological and molecular techniques offer precision but are resource-intensive.
  • Non-invasive imaging and behavioral cues complement physiological assessments, improving accuracy.
  • Novel non-invasive and scalable technologies are advancing maturity assessment, reducing fish stress.

Conclusions:

  • A multi-method approach is necessary due to diverse fish reproductive strategies.
  • Integrating maturity determination with aquaculture supports stock enhancement and conservation.
  • Standardized protocols and accessible tools are needed for sustainable fish breeding and biodiversity conservation.
