Funky_monks 0 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 'Stocked trout do not breed' to clarify - Stocked brown trout will breed, and if you are not producing trips, growing mixed sex browns causes no real problems, so most fish farms do (or did) it. Rainbows tend to be all-female because male rainbows are kype-y and unsaleable, but its a lot of effort to produce sex-reversed broodstock. Nowadays (at least in England) the EAs adoption of the 'Trout and Grayling' Strategy means you are unlikely to get consent to stock diploid browns anyway, so most farms produce trips. We had consents to stock mixed-sex browns in rivers up until last year (or the year before - I'm getting old, cant remember). Those will have undoubtedly spawned in some locations. Quote Link to post
