Goldfish Spawning

• Feed broodfish • Move to warm holding tanks• Use lights to lengthen photoperiod• Move to shallow spawning tanks• Add spawning mats• Increase depth to cover mats• Use some old water

Secondary Sexual Characteristics

Induced Spawning1. Temp, photoperiod, other cues2. LHRH

1. Replaces GnRH

3. Gonadotropin from dried pituitary1. Clumsy!

4. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)

1. Replaces gonadotropin

5. Hormones only finish egg development and spawning
