TL;DR: It is argued there is no better time to foster greater collaboration between these fields given the trend of shrinking Extension programmes, the increasing need to apply innovative solutions to address rising demands on agricultural systems, and the exponential growth of the field of citizen science.

TL;DR: Stress may lead to ovarian atresia or reproductive failure and can impact fish behavior, fecundity, and ovulation rate and postovulatory aging may occur when eggs become overripe and the fish fails to spawn in a timely fashion, leading to low fertility.

TL;DR: The results of these trials show for the first time that a hormone-induced female striped bass can be used to stimulate successful volitional spawning of an untreated female in the same tank with fry/kg female body weight production similar to that of hormone-treated fish.

TL;DR: The findings described are the first report of multiple striped bass successfully batch spawning in captivity without exogenous hormone administration, and indicate that an approximately 1:1 ratio of female to male striped bass in a single batch spawning unit is more favorable for production.
