Article Synopsis
- Hatchery-reared fish often show different phenotypic traits compared to their wild counterparts, which can negatively impact their performance after being released into natural environments.
- Researchers studied the body coloration differences between wild and hatchery-reared marbled rockfish, finding that wild fish had more vibrant and saturated colors.
- The study also revealed that while wild marbled rockfish preferred red light, hatchery-reared fish had a weaker preference, indicating that their rearing conditions significantly affect their development and behavior, suggesting the need for improved hatchery practices for better stock enhancement.
