The broodstock pairing attempts started in 2017 with one successful pair, then additional potential broodfish were obtained in 2018. Currently, there are four bonded pairs of copperband butterflyfish at IRREC. One pair (henceforth referred to as Pair A), consisting of the largest-sized individuals, is spawning consistently. Another pair has spawned a few infertile eggs but is not consistently spawning yet. Two other pairs may not be sexually mature yet. There is still a long way to go but the very large numbers of eggs laid (upwards of 50k) and fair fertilization rate (up to 35%) actually make these a viable option in the near future. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy164 Peter- A Lego Reef?? In a makeshift saltwater nursery located on an offshore Singapore island, a vital scientific experiment is taking place involving corals and sea invertebrates and Lego bricks. We needed to create flat and stable surfaces for the animals to rest on, explained Neo Mei Lin, a leading marine biologist and senior research fellow from the National University of Singapore’s Tropical Marine Science Institute. Detachable Lego bricks proved very useful in helping us to hold corals and giant clams in place. http://bit.ly/newsPeter164 Remy’s Bahama Llama Tip of the Week: Spring Purge Main Topic: Hawaiian Fish Ban what does it mean for us?
