Breeding Yellow Tangs

Really they won’t tell anyone because that’s how they keep the market. Which sucks because this should all be open source to help repopulate the species. But generally corporations and people care more about money than extinction

Since when did yellow tangs need repopulation?

The only info I can't seem to find is how large are the broodstock tanks?

I'm not certain exactly how many gallons the broodstock tanks are, but to give you an idea of their scale, we do have some pictures of Biota Hawaii and our partners at Oceanic Institute HPU on our website shop.thebiotagroup.com - Felicia

Hey Nathanb25, all of the data is actually published and easily accessible if you Google Scholar the work done by Dr. Callan. Our research is in conjunction with the Oceanic Institute. Also when asked I usually give a rundown of how to breed yellow tang but the reality is it's an incredible amount of space and money that most hobbyists don't have and why it has not been replicated by other breeding companies.

I would love a run down of that breeding program.

I would love a run down of that breeding program.

You can find more information about their aquaculture program on their website here: https://www.hpu.edu/oi/index.html

They've also done some great research on many food fish species important to the islands as well as breakthrough research on some live feeds production.
