Hendrix Genetics - Triploid Trout

• Better flesh quality compared to diploids
• Better growth to large sizes as all energy is transferred to growth rather than reproduction
• Comparable growth to diploid populations early in the life cycle
• More efficient and productive use of hatchery facilities by removal of unnecessary reproducing fish
• Fish are suitable for release without genetic impact, as they cannot breed with native populations

These benefits help make triploid eggs the perfect solution for farmers needing a sterile salmonid for the following situations:

• Growth past the normal period of reproduction
• Production of "trophy"-sized fish for recreational purposes
• Prevention of reproduction in released or escaped fish

Troutlodge has been a pioneer in the development of triploid technology and processes for the salmonid industry. Thanks to this extensive experience, Troutlodge achieves +99% induction rates in the triploid process. All triploid eggs sold by Troutlodge are all-female.
