Industry Products and Services

From the start of ABC in 1998, the culmination of efforts has been the release of broodstock to hatcheries for propagation of seed and eyed larvae. Progress is continuous in a breeding program; therefore, each year ABC expects to release lines that are better than the previous generation. The number of broodstock released climbed from 100 in 2004 to over 28,000 in 2018.
