Clear Springs Foods’ Production 22,000,000 lbs year process 85,000 lbs/day grow more than 60,000 lbs/day approximately 60% of Idaho’s production

Vertical Integration of Trout Production Feed manufacturing Brood operations Farm production Processing –primary –value added Distribution Marketing

Brood Division Egg Production & Research Egg Production: Soda Springs 71.5 Million Snake River Brood 8.1 Million Research: Genetics of growth and survival traits Trout reproduction

The Brood Division Two facilities –Buhl Snake River canyon Research facility Selection site Brood propagation site 5% of egg production –Soda Springs Primary egg production site

Selection Program Animal Model Genetic merit based on: Individual records Family records

Selection Program Primarily Growth rate Indirectly for feed conversion rate Secondarily Disease resistance

Size Selection Family and Within Family Selection 100 to 110 full-sib families per generation 10 families per generation from randomly bred line Families selection: –Families with poor early survival were discarded –Families with high mean weights at 273 days were saved Within the selected families: –pit tag top 15 to 20% of individuals within the largest families at 273 days

The Steps for Size Selection 40 days post-spawn, reduce to 600 individuals 63 days, reduce to 100 individuals 76 days, pool with another family in 100 gal tank 138 days, each family is given unique clip/brand 139 days, to raceway 273 days, final measurement 274 days, PIT tag the largest 10% of fish within the families having the largest mean weights

Family and Within Family Selection for Size 100 to 110 full-sib families per generation 10 families per generation from a randomly bred non-selected (control) line At 273 days Families with low mean weights are discarded Top 10-15% of the individuals from the largest families are PIT tagged

Odd year generation

Even year generation

Transfer of Genetic Improvement to the Farms Selected females join the ranks of the brood females after first spawn Amplification through use of selected females’ daughters become brood replacements Selected males are sires of brood replacement females

Brood Replacement Females Progeny of 30 sires and 30 dams Undergo mass selection Produced in 15 lots per year In the months of July through January Spawn twice in natural photoperiod Spawn two more times in light-control Used for a total of four spawns

Rainbow Trout Egg Production Maturation in 24 months Some females will mature precociously Depending on stock, 50% of the males will mature at 12 months Photoperiod cues reproduction Naturally spring spawners Wild stocks will spawn from Feb to June Selective breeding of domesticated fish has moved spawn time to fall - winter

Egg Production methods to affect egg availability Photoperiod manipulation of brood dams Skeletal photoperiod 6 hours of light  18 hours of light  6 hours of light Thermal manipulation at incubation Water chilled to slow or heated to speed development Hormonal control of reproduction Exogenous hormone applications to synchronize maturation LHRHa implants

Current Culture Practices modifying populations for growth and carcass traits Mono-sex culture Sexual Dimorphism: –growth rates –carcass confirmation Examples –Male culture Tilapia –Female culture Trout

Triploid culture 3N ploidy Are sexually non-viable (99.9%) Males will exhibit secondary sexual characteristics Current Culture Practices modifying populations for growth and carcass traits

Production of Normal Diploids and Triploids

Triploid culture 3N ploidy Are sexually non-viable (99.9%) Males will exhibit secondary sexual characteristics Triploid mono-sex female populations Will not undergo sexual maturation Will be a uniform population Will have improved growth rates over diploid female population after 18 months Current Culture Practices modifying populations for growth and carcass traits

Sex determination in rainbow trout Females are homogametic –Have two copies of the X chromosome (XX) Males are heterogametic –Have both an X and Y chromosome (XY) Male gametes (sperm) are sex determining –They will carry either an X or Y chromosome

The perfect population – (from a trout culturist perspective) All female or Monosex female First Path- Direct feminization of a mixed sex population Oral doses of estradiol Population of XX and XY genotypes All female phenotypes Problem Regulatory concerns with hormone use on food fish

Mono-Sex Female Population Second Path through gynogenesis Gynogenesis is an induced form of parthenogenesis –e.g. “virgin birth” of Komodo dragons Diploid organism produced without the contribution of a male parent Forms a population of XX animals in trout Gynogens are highly inbred –Heterozygosity through crossing over during meiosis

Production of Haploids and Gynogens

Mono-Sex Female Population Third path - start with masculinized females Direct masculinization of a mixed sex population Oral dose of methyltestosterone Identify XX males (neomales ) Progeny testing Use morphology to separate neomales from genetic males Neomales become sires to mono-sex female population

Mono-Sex Female Population (commercial method) Generate female population through gynogenesis Sex-reverse gynogens Gynogens become neomales (XX males) Neomales are sires for all female offspring Perpetuate female population by sex-reversing offspring for sires of the next generation Total elimination of the Y chromosome from the population
