Objective
The present project draws on the exceptional opportunity to combine forces between an international group of scientists and commercial "growing out" facilities for bluefin tuna (BFT), to provide an in depth study of the reproduction of BFT in captivity, thereby providing a strategic feasibility study for the domestication of this species. The controlled reproduction is a crucial step on the road to domesticating a wild species. We have to study the hormonal regulation on gonadal development, maturation of gametes, spawning and fecundity, and finally develop suitable methods to control the reproduction of the BFT.
The availability of captive brood-stock will allow us to increase the knowledge about the input of reproductive cues to recruitment determinism in the wild, hence allowing a better management of the resource in global sense.
