Reproductive evaluation of new species
Reproductive evaluation of new species
Through a comprehensive review of the existing scientific and technical information on the reproduction of the species or its related species, hypotheses are established to develop the approach for reproductive assessment and the time range in which it will be conducted.

How We Do It
Using portable ultrasound devices with high-quality imaging and correlating with gold-standard techniques commonly used for developmental characterization in various species, qualitative and quantitative ultrasound parameters are established to identify the progression of maturity stages in females and males. These correlations are based on a large amount of data and scenarios, allowing us to establish detailed procedures for sampling and analysis.
