Really interesting! The key take away for me was: photoperiod (daylight hours) and UV radiation were significantly stronger predictors of estrogen levels during gametogenesis than temperature. Environmental factors collectively explained 86% of oocyte (egg) diameter variance.
My read of that is that it is critical to setup a lighting schedule that adjusts across the entire year, to mimic the local seasons.

My Tank Thread
Might be interesting to see if one can induce spawning via hormones in the water. It’s a complicated experiment but might be interesting for corals that are hard to spawn but that might benefit from aquaculture from parents.
