Patent Summary

A process for producing high-quality salmon eggs through controlled rearing of broodstock fish. The process involves rearing the fish in a simulated seasonal environment, with alternating periods of summer and winter light exposure, to achieve optimal egg production. The fish are first reared in a summer-like environment to reach a target weight, then transitioned to a winter-like environment for a specified period, followed by a final summer-like environment before spawning. The total Accumulated Thermal Unit (ATU) during the winter-summer period is limited to 5000 to ensure optimal egg quality.
