I would imagine the handling process of a broodstock fish is alot more extensive than a rec cnr fish, considering the 31% mortality vs 11%. A broodstock fish is caught by hook and line, put in a tube, transported to a holding facility, and held captive until ripe enough to remove eggs? Quit the process if I am correct. The numbers Eyefish posted does raise some concern on female reproduction from the rec cnr side. Rec cnr mortality may be half of the Snider Creek mortality, 15% females and 5% male? Interesting......
