Why is fish reproduction research necessary?

An understanding of the fundamental processes determining fish reproduction is essential in order to understand species-specific reproduction strategies and triggers; to control sex ratios, puberty and spawning; and hence enable more efficient and sustainable production of a diverse range of species. A better understanding of fish reproduction also decreases the reliance on wild fish populations for farm stock, and can reduce the impact of captive stocks on the wild gene pool (by producing "sterile" captive fish). Research is therefore beneficial both economically and environmentally.
