Evaluation and Elimination of Early-Maturing Male Salmon
Evaluation and Elimination of Early-Maturing Male Salmon
We use advanced techniques to detect and eliminate early-maturing males, known as "parr mature" and "Jack," which exhibit unique characteristics in freshwater systems.
This process optimizes resources and improves productivity, providing solutions and enabling mass removal if necessary.
Benefits
Reduction of Early-Maturing Males
Minimizes the presence of males with early maturity.
Resource Optimization
Enhanced use of resources and improved productivity.
Better Planning and Management
Precise adjustments in breeder management.
Reduction of Production Losses
Less negative impact on production.

How We Do It
In freshwater production systems, this technique allows early identification of "parr mature" and "Jack" males beginning puberty.
Before using ultrasound directly to assess the maturity state in male and female salmon of various species, we developed multiple correlations between qualitative and quantitative ultrasound parameters to evaluate specimen maturity.
These correlations are built from extensive data and situations, enabling us to establish detailed sampling and analysis procedures.
Preparation
Installation and calibration of ultrasound equipment.
