Yesterday, January 4, 2022, the first STREAMS breeding season also started for the PN Maiella. From 24 females of Mediterranean trout, found suitable thanks to previous genetic analyzes, eggs were produced for a total of 5.4 kg (with an estimated number of eggs equal to about 54,000) immediately fertilized fresh with the semen of 10 males.

The embryonated eggs will be reared in the CISI of L’Aquila and will be used both for the releases in the wild next spring, and to build a genetically tested reproductive stock through the protocols developed by our Project.
Therefore, once the suitable growth has been reached, with the almost complete resorption of the yolk sac, the small fry will be placed in the rivers of the PN Maiella, in particular the Orta and the Orfento.
